Some how I am very envious of the 60MB RAM footprint while booting into a #linode #vps. The best I could get onto my #homelab is 300MB usage on a #Ubuntu cloud image. This is unfortunately the same as my desktop #ArchLinux with #KDE running.

The Ubuntu server image idled at 600MB RAM usage with #docker & #sshd. The culprits using most ram are #snapd & #multipathd.

Does anyone have experience with diskless Linux systems booting from iSCSI using iBFT, and multipath setups?

I have a setup that works in principle, but sometimes hangs multipathd when disabling one of the paths. I'm kind of wondering if multipathd might run into a race condition when it tries to write own status information and the path being used goes offline - and then is blocked until the write times out? Can't quite make out the source of the problem right now.
