Netboot Image - Where is the user generated data stored That's much slower than mine. You might want to ask a second question specific to troubleshooting that. |

Netboot Image - Where is the user generated data stored I use NFS over a gigabit network (without Jumbo frames) and find the performance to be quite good. Part of the trick I found was getting the Netboot Image to a decent size. We put many applications on a separate AFP share, which made NetBooting faster and also makes it easier to update those apps without having to rebuild the entire NetBoot image. Also, make sure you create the image with System Image Utility. I have had issues with images created by hand being very slow. |

Netboot Image - Where is the user generated data stored That could be why, yes. The second time it was reading from there. Note that those are Sparse Files, so some of the 67GB might be a continuous string of NULL bytes, indicating none of those blocks were actually changed in the file. I forget if HFS+ stores those files efficiently or not though. I think so. (So a 67GB file might only use 3GB of space) |

How to auto-run disk repair on OS X after each system crash? You should be asking how to stop your kernel panics :-) have you run the Apple Hardware Test? Sounds like a hardware problem to me. |

Netboot Image - Where is the user generated data stored I am very familiar with the NetBoot process, so if this doesn't fully answer your question, please feel free to ask me for more details! |

Netboot Image - Where is the user generated data stored I am motivated and have engineered a system whereby everybody netboots. Their users are in open Directory and their home directories are stored on a fileserver, so that storage is persistent. But every reboot resets the system software and the installed applications (under /Applications) to the default. I find it cheaper and more reliable than other solutions for backup and re-imaging. |

Tools to compress and encrypt files FileVault is not a command line term; You can create a DMG which is both compressed and encrypted. |
