I also had setup drbl on ubuntu with just a 40GB disk. Then later added another 40GB to get more space.
I mounted the new HDD as /home and transfered all the files and directories to /home.
For this, first boot in single user mode and move the directories from /home into a temporary location. Then unmount /home and mount the second HDD as /home and move back directories into /home...

Steven,
The only line besides (before)
exit 0
is
/opt/drbl/sbin/drbl-aoe-serv start
in the file. The lines above it are comments.
How do I check if the command is executed or if there are errors in execution.

Steven, I put the command
/opt/drbl/sbin/drbl-aoe-serv start
in /etc/rc.local on your DRBL server and rebooted. The AoE service does not start so I have to run the command manually.

Steven,

When I reboot Ubuntu the AoE server does not start. How do I add
"/opt/drbl/sbin/drbl-aoe-serv start" to the startup in Ubuntu.

I could get a Windows XP Prof. Diskless Machine working fine.
Utilities like Defrag work on the AoE HDD. Its great.

The problem was solved. Actually I use a Windows 2003 Server DHCP server. This had a clash with the DRBL DHCP server. So I uninstalled the DRBL DHCP server. Now I am able to SANboot Windows XP. It worrks fine. I resized the Windows XP HDD to about 7.5GB so that the image file is small to transfer to the DRBL server.
Can I use some utility to make a copy of the WinXP image and then...

I don't have a built-in network card which has network boot option. I installed a PCI network card from Dlink 530.
For the PXE boot I downloaded the network boot image for floppy from rom-o-matic.net for the model via-rhine:dlink-530tx.
booting from floppy gives the DRBL menu and I select the 1st option. The booting and loading of pxelinux.0 file goes through but then ends up with the...
