Doing this without systemd or directly from the netboot environment would be interesting.
- bayindirh 3y agoThe user didn't do it from systemd actually. Instead they booted GRML, which is not very different from a netboot environment, and hand-exported the device themselves.
- coretx 3y agoGRML is a debian live image, much different from a netboot environment. Look at https://ipxe.org/ https://ipxe.org/, boot firmware doing fiber over ethernet, iSCSI, HTTP; booting from virtually everything but NVMe over TCP.
- bayindirh 3y agoI use GRML almost daily, sometimes booting it over network and loading it to RAM. We don't use iPXE specificially, but use "vanilla" PXE regularly, too, generally to install systems with Kickstart or xCAT, depending on the cluster we're working on. I'll be using GRML again tonight to rescue some laptop drives which were retrieved from a fire, to see what can be salvaged, for example. First in forensic mode to see what's possible, then to use dd_rescue on a N95 box.
