====== Week 2 ====== === June - 1 === - Checkout httpfs, may be it can be used to mount file-system from server http://httpfs.sourceforge.net/ == My understanding of HTTP boot with HTTPFS == - Download the Linux kernel with fuse support ( or insert fuse module later ) - download initramfs with - fuse module - httpfs executable - Network setup tools and modules script to set root filesystem to the HTTPFS. - Boot with this setup. It seems I am missing many things here, let me try out [[wiki:BootOverNFS|booting over NFS]] first == Problems with mounting with httpfs == I am able to mount but the problem I am facing is that file is mounted as nosuid,nodev, which does not allow further mounting. <code> $ ./httpfs http://127.0.0.1/dsl.iso ./test $ mount httpfs on /home/pravin/Etherboot/v2/httpfs/test type fuse.httpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,user=pravin) $ ls test/ dsl.iso </code> ==== Few useful links ==== - http://httpfs.sourceforge.net/net_boot.htm
