====== Week 2 ======
=== June - 1 ===
  - Checkout httpfs, may be it can be used to mount file-system from server http://httpfs.sourceforge.net/


== My understanding of HTTP boot with HTTPFS ==
  - Download the Linux kernel with fuse support ( or insert fuse module later )
  - download initramfs with 
     - fuse module
     - httpfs executable
     - Network setup tools and modules script to set root filesystem to the HTTPFS.
  - Boot with this setup.

It seems I am missing many things here, let me try out [[wiki:BootOverNFS|booting over NFS]] first

== Problems with mounting with httpfs ==
I am able to mount but the problem I am facing is that file is mounted as nosuid,nodev, which does not allow further mounting.
httpfs on /home/pravin/Etherboot/v2/httpfs/test type fuse.httpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,user=pravin)
