![]() ![]() ![]() I’ve already come to love the flexiblity in separating storage from compute in a virtualization environment, where I can use a ZFS backend to deal with snapshots, replication, and file integrity checking, and I’ve upgraded the network speed for my workstation so I can work on files directly off the network using mapped network drives, but this still leaves my primary boot disk vulnerable, and while my files are safe, my installed programs are not. In an ideal world, this would solve a lot of problems regarding managing backups of the drives - by simply not having drives at any client, they can all be managed and backed up centrally by the server. Inspired by recent a recent video on the basics of PXE booting by ‘Tall Paul Tech’ (formerly known as CWNE88), as well as a comment by Linus of Linus Tech Tips that his new home server could ’network boot everything in his house’, I wondered how easy it would be to network boot everything in my house.
