I'm playing with an nfsroot boot for multiple hosts; Ubuntu has some dated docs that recommend:

#/etc/fstab
none /tmp tmpfs defaults 0 0
none /var/run tmpfs defaults 0 0
none /var/lock tmpfs defaults 0 0
none /var/tmp tmpfs defaults 0 0

I've notice already that /var/lib/dhcp needs to be mounted additionally otherwise clients conflict with eachother.

I tried for a while, an aggressive /var tmpfs:

#/etc/fstab
none /var tmpfs defaults 0 0

But i worry about things like Apt, that rely on /var/lib for shared state. This woudln't be the first time apt's file lay our has annoyed me-.

Additionally with the usual /var/run -> /run, /var/lock -> /run/lock, I worry about stepping on soemthing I didn't mean to with that aggressive /var tmpfs, so I'm curious, can anyone recommended a shared-root-fs tmpfs excludes list?

I'm open to introducing symlinks where it makes sense, though I've noticed a lot of applications will wipe them out, not bothering to check if the system is trying to redirect its nonsense-.

this is my current WIP:

#/etc/fstab
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /tmp tmpfs defaults 0 0
none /media tmpfs defaults 0 0

none /var/lib/dhcp tmpfs defaults 0 0
none /tmp tmpfs defaults 0 0
none /run tmpfs defaults 0 0
none /var/tmp tmpfs defaults 0 0
