| ====== Unique machine ID for nfs root systems ====== | ====== Unique machine ID for nfs root systems ====== | ||
| + | When multiple hosts running systemd share the same NFS root, they will also share the same machine-id. This can cause issues, especially with journald. Journald logging can be disabled by deleting ''/var/log/journal'' which solves most of the problems, but a better solution is to use unique machine-id values on all of the hosts. Modern motherboards provide a unique UUID accessible via DMI, so a reasonable option is to write this out to /run during boot and point systemd at that as the machine-id. Here is a simple way to set that up. | ||
| + | Create the file ''/etc/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-top/machineid'': | ||
| <code bash machineid> | <code bash machineid> | ||
