- The closest you could come to a "supported" way of doing this
- would be to install MultiNet on a disk which is available through the
- CI so it is always up. Otherwise I would recommend manually copying
- the NFS configuration files to the alternative system disk; there is
- no way of maintaining just the configuration files in a separate directory.
