With one target this works OK, but now I want to add another target. The problem I see is that both targets are going to write into the same logfiles and lockfiles. I did setup the DHCP server in such a way that the NFS-root of the target points to /nfsroot/. But for this to work I need a copy of the complete tree for each target board. I would prefer to have only one tree for all targets, as this saves the effort of keeping all trees in sync. I could create a smaller NFS-root per target, with only /etc, /var and some other directories and mount-points and mount all directories from a central nfsroot using the local fstab in /etc. This could work for /var, but I would still need to keep /etc in sync. Is there another way to do this, or is this the correct way to setup a multi-target system? Kind regards, Johan Borkhuis
