List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Sender: nfs-bounces@lists.sourceforge.net Errors-To: nfs-bounces@lists.sourceforge.net Hello list, as part of implementing a netboot solution, I observe that the client pulls about 128 MB of data (measured in iptraf, so it includes IPv4 headers too). You probably agree that this contributes to a boot that could possibly be sped up (even if the same distribution was to read from local disk). I wonder what files it actually accesses. Is there some utility to get a listing of all the files that were accessed? tcpdump provides a nice hint, e.g. 21:29:09.877364 IP 192.168.222.34.3204330825 > 192.168.222.1.2049: 116 lookup fh Unknown/0100000100160005118A180EF8B50D0D000000000000001068616C2D6765742D "hal-get-property" But at best I'd like to have the full pathname (to distinguish the fictional case /bin/cat vs /usr/bin/cat) -`J' -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
