Diskless client mount NFS-root error

[Beeblebrox]

Hi Peter, thanks for holding my hand :))

folder /data/amd64/conf/<ip> has etc & var which are mounted r/w as md0,
md1 onto client for its write needs. Other than that, why would a DC need
write privilege for root? Also /home is separate export.

Thanks.
