Added the possibility to build diskless cluster based upon NFS instead of a SAN infrastructure.

Line 3:
A Linux cluster filesystem, e.g. [[Global File System|GFS]] or [[OCFS2]], is the basis to form a [[single-system image]] (SSI) on filesystem level with any attached [[Storage Area Network]] (SAN).
 
But also a NFS server on the network may be configuratedconfigured to host the generic boot image for the SSI cluster nodes.
 
Although such NFS based Diskless Shared-root Cluster are not recommended for productive environments, NFS still could be used to build cheap cluster infrastructures for less important tasks.
