[Question] NFS Installation guide

[mk01]

xbian-config has undocumented experimental support also for nfs as part of xbianclone tool.

syntax of the destination should be:

Code:

nfs:server.nameorip:/path/to/exported/root

the destination is mounted (if exists) and tested if can keep ownership of regular user and id=0. this is required for nfs root and assumes server option on the export "no_root_squash".

storing id=0 also requires that no "insecure" option is used. but this is fine as rootfs is always mounted at system level.
after this test the installation is copied to NFS dir. also, /boot partition (cmdline.txt) should be updated - so when finish, just reboot should work and boot straight to NFS.

specific feedback would be welcome as other destinations than .img or partition is under testing / unofficial but should be documented and working with V1 release.

thanks in advance.
