• One the xcat server:

1. lsdef -t osimage rocky8.10-x86_64-netboot-compute:

partitionfile=/install/custom/netboot/rocky8.10/cfglocaldisk

2. cat partitionfile=/install/custom/netboot/rocky8.10/cfglocaldisk:

[disk]
dev=/dev/sda
clear=yes
fstype=ext4

[localspace]

3. tabdump policy:

"4.7",,,"litefile",,,,"allow",,

• On the client:

1. cat /proc/cmdline:

• On the xcat server:

1. modify file '/opt/xcat/share/xcat/netboot/add-on/statelite/rc.localdisk', add on the line 49:

DOPART="yes"
OS="rh"

2.add below to synclists file:

/install/custom/netboot/rocky8.10/cfglocaldisk' to /install/netboot/rocky8.10/x86_64/compute/rootimg/.sllocal/log/litefile

3. genimage rocky8.10-x86_64-netboot-compute && packimage rocky8.10-x86_64-netboot-compute
4. reboot the client.

• On the client:

1. df

/dev/sda1 989032 152896 768552 17% /.sllocal/localmnt

• On the xcat server:

1. modify file '/opt/xcat/share/xcat/netboot/add-on/statelite/rc.localdisk', change the line 240:
   'mount -t $fstype $dev $MNTDIR$LOCAL'
   to
   'mount -t $fstype $dev $MNTDIR/tmp'

It does not work.
