I have a 10.9.1 diskless Netboot image, a 10.9.1 Server configured as both an AFP distribution point, and a JDS for testing purposes.
The issue is when I image with a configuration that has an ASR image and it goes to do a block level copy of the base OS image to the drive, if I choose the JDS version of the distribution as the share point to get data from, the block level copy stops part way through.
After investigating the net boot machine while its doing the block level copy I can see in activity monitor in the Network sent/received that as its pulling down the image its uploading a ton of data (usually about half what it is pulling down, but if its pulling data at 80MB.sec, then its uploading 40MB/sec which is crazy). It's doing this because it's writing some large amount of data to the net boot's root volume which is effectively writing to the shadow file on the server. As its doing this, the net boot's root volume completely fills up after only getting a few gigs into the ASR image writing to the physical hard drive and whatever its caching to the root volume, it causes the imaging to just halt and stop as it stops pulling data down form the JDS because it runs out of room to cache whatever data its caching.
If I pick the AFP version of the share point, I don't see any of this filling of the hard drive, the network sent/sec in Activity Monitor stays normal and the root of the net boot volume is not fill ing up quickly. It runs perfectly fine.
I can reproduce this every time.
Anybody have any ideas?
