Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2009157899A1] A system and method for root booting includes a plurality of computing devices that each boot from a read-only base volume of an attached storage device that includes data common to the computing devices. The attached storage device also includes a plurality of volumes, each dedicated to one of the computing devices, which are redirect on write snapshots of the read-only base volume including unique items for the respective computing device. The read-only base volume may be stored in one or more solid state drives which may be configured as a RAID (redundant array of independent disks) and/or mirrored with one or more other storage drives. The plurality of volumes may each be stored in one or more hard disk drives which may be configured as a RAID. The attached storage device may be operable to add common data to the read-only base volume.
