    I have a bunch of diskless single-board computers in production,
mounting their root filesystem through NFS. Most of this filesystem is
common and part is per-host (in /lib). /run is on tmpfs. This system has
been in production for 7 years, I think, and has acquired Terabytes of
data from digitizers. The SBCs currently run Debian-Wheezy (I started
with Sarge).

    You can actually nfs-mount any folder you like.
