I use softlinks. It works 100%. I can run unlimited number of NFS mounted diskless workstations. All of them have ro root fs, can mount /usr ro or rw as needed. /var, /tmp, /etc are always writable.
I use mount --bind for only one mountpoint, everuthing else is handled by softlinks.
Why do you think it is not too nice? -- vda
