MaaS Curtin fetch image through NFS instead of HTTP

Performance

Instead of fetching image through HTTP can curtin be customized to fetch image through NFS ?
From what I’ve seen HTTP doesn’t work well when there are a large number of requests, leading to deployment failures.

Hi,

Up to my knowledge nope

I think there is such support in curtin but MAAS doesn’t use it out of the box
https://curtin.readthedocs.io/en/latest/topics/config.html#sources

Example squashfs from NFS mount:

sources:
  - squashfs:///media/filesystem.squashfs

It could be that using a custom preseed might help here, so might be worth inspecting src/maasserver/preseed.py
