This is page contains information about the 4 node PPC (Pegasos) version of Little-Fe.
This version of Little-Fe PPC is based on a Debian GNU/Linux installation. It employs UnionFS to facilitate consolidation of system and cluster software on a single hard drive (attached to lf0
). All other nodes netboot from the master image by masking the server-specific files with a lightweight overlay.

We are documenting the production of Little-Fe in two ways: First, bugs are filed in bugzilla (and hopefully fixed). Second, we're putting flesh on a set of instructions to build a replica of the original Little-Fe PPC. The latter is probably (but not necessarily) based on the former. The distinction is mainly that Bugzilla will show how things were done wrong, while the wiki-based instructions will show how to do things right the first time.
Creating a new Little-Fe PPC
- Choose an operating system
- Setup netbooting
- Unified Root Setup - setup the diskless environment
