Deploying parts of the image to local disk
For some machines, having all or part of the root filesystem reside
on a local disk may be desirable. This is accomplished by using the
DEPLOYMOUNT and DEPLOYSWAP directives in combination
with the mk-diskful script. These directives cause oneSIS to
create partitions and copy portions of the root filesystem
to one or more local disks on a machine.
When deploying the entire image to local disk, keep in mind that
oneSIS requires perl to operate. Since perl and its libraries are most
often found in /usr, this means that /usr must be available
very early in the boot process. This is easily accomplished simply by not
deploying /usr on a separate partition, or by making sure that it
gets mounted from within the initramfs.
If a BOOTLOADER directive is defined for a node, and the /boot
directory is deployed on a local disk, the specified bootloader will be
installed.
