gives us after diskless client is netbooted rootfs which is common between all clients:
# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
10.0.0.105:/data/iso
2.4G 2.4G 0 100% /
tmpfs 32G 0 32G 0% /dev/shm

client1
[root@client1 ~]# touch /test
[root@client1 ~]# ls -l /test
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Nov 4 00:06 /test
client2
[root@client2 ~]# ls -l /data/iso/test
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Nov 4 00:06 /data/iso/test
