Hi!
Now that the new record <nfs-share> is working and seeing the amount of =
changes to make this working, I get the impression that this is =
unnecessarily complicated.
In the end there will be the "--root=3D" option for the kernel, which is =
only a plain string. And most of the device record related functions in =
the end target to produce a string.
And then there is (device-string->file-system-device) in =
gnu/build/linux-boot.scm to convert this string back into a device =
record.
As long as this conversion to and from string is necessary, there is no =
real benefit in having different record types for (file-system (device =
=E2=80=A6)), it could just be a string. Then there would only be the =
need for a simple parser function like (device-string->device-type) to =
determine the type of device to be used in places where the type =
matters.
Bye
Stefan

Hello Stefan,
Thanks a lot for this patch, overall it look nice! Without going into
details here are a few remarks:
* As you probably noticed the bootloading & system part of Guix is
moving a lot recently. This patch does not apply on master, so it would
be nice if you could rebase it and pass "--base=auto" option to "git
format-patch" so that it's easier to apply it.
* It would be nice to have tests for this functionality. There's already
a (gnu tests nfs) module, testing the NFS service. Maybe you could add a
test case of a marionette booting from a local NFS share.
* Finally, now that file-system "device" field can be a label, a UUID, a
"/dev" node and an "nfs-share", it makes me think that we could need a
new layer of abstraction here, but this can come later and I need to
think more about it.
Thanks,
Mathieu

I tried. Unfortunately on my little aarch64 SBC compiling the necessary =

Hi Stefan,
just a heads-up, I've forwarded this to Brice Waegeneire, who I think is be=
st
qualified to review and merge your work. He is working on PXE booting,
starting with regular x86_64 machines. So NFS root is totally something he
both needs and can help with.
Myself, I'm quite satisfied with your version, I'd just like there to be so=
me
minimal tests of the functionality and that's pretty much it.
About the <nfs-share> record, if you think it's better without the record, =
we
can also do without--but I'd like to know Brice's opinion on it.
The idea was to have the record be something like
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/filesystems/nfs/nfsroot.txt
if we could have used it. We can't use "nfsroot=3D" directly because we do=
n't
have network drivers built into the kernel and instead use modules for thos=
e.
That also means that the initrd modules have to be automatically extended
by network card drivers, I guess.
So the initrd would basically emulate the fields of "nfsroot=3D" from the l=
ink
above.
So it would be <nfs-root> and would have fields like=20
server-ip
root-dir
nfs-options (a list)
You're right that having a <nfs-share> with just the host and directory does
not make much sense as a record. But we actually need to configure the
machine as a client in the network to be able to reach the nfs server,
right?
I guess we could ignore the problem and have the DHCP server do
it, and I'm all for it--but some use cases might need manual configuration,
too. Even then, is it possible to know which NFS protocol version to use
for the NFS root automatically? Even in your case, you don't actually
get the nfs IP from the DHCP server either, but you make the user pass it
by splicing it to some string, right?
So some kind of <nfs-root-client> or whatever record is necessary, I'd say.
@Brice: ?
