Subject: [9fans] pxeboot & tftpd
Date: Tue, 6 Mar 2012 15:38:41 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CF4E8A2E-136F-4C78-8257-3E1BA3928FEB@corpus-callosum.com> (raw)
I've been taking the time to finally setup pxeboot for a few new projects. Oddly, or maybe not, I'm wanting to run dhcpd and tftpd on /net.alt instead of /net. Doing so highlights a subtle point that I've clearly missed in the whole namespace documentation and network configuration.
ip/dhcpd -x /net.alt works perfectly well but ip/tftpd -x /net.alt will fail unless you've got a custom /lib/namespace or /cfg/$sysname/namespace that includes something similar to the following:
# alt networks
bind -b '#l1' /net.alt
bind -b '#I1' /net.alt
mount -a /srv/cs_net.alt /net.alt
mount -a /srv/dns_net.alt /net.alt
There may a better way, but so far that's the only thing I've found to make tftpd work off of /net.alt.
