Well, ideally I'd like to have /usr mounted as ro to all the client boxes, with root_squash making sure that even as root on a client, I can't do a rm -rf /usr. Also, umounting /usr and writing to the local one on / wouldn't be great. I'm sure that there's a nicer way to do it than having to wipe the local one after each change. Otherwise, I might as well keep an independant /usr for each client, which kinda defeats the purpose of what I'm trying to do ... jc
