Typically diskless cluster has image only on the head node. A cluster
distribution wouldn't make much sense for a diskless cluster.

Probably we can do 2 things:
 * Gluster will setup the head node image for client images and remote
booting. 
 * Provide ready-made images for each distro for diskless cluster.

Both of the above approaches are very distro specific and not
portable. For now, we can help you manually setup a diskless cluster
on Debian. Please let us know.

Subject: diskless slaves
Date: Wed, 29 Nov 2006 18:55:56 -0600 Hi all.. I was wondering if
anyone had any experience running gluster with diskless slave
nodes. More specifically - or preferably =p - on a debian machine or
with sources instead of rpms.

Thanks,
JL
