Discussing an interesting scenario with my tech lead at work today.  Might 
try this out but was looking for any definitive remarks indicating we may 
be trying to divide by zero.

We need to build up a few slaves since our single instance is becoming 
overwhelmed.  The thought was that since this is entirely local 
network-wise that we possibly try this:

Master system with all jobs and workspaces in directory X.

Slaves setup to mount X as CIFS to run their jobs on.

We need the horsepower, not the space, so we're trying not to waste it, 
hence the CIFS idea (which could add to build time, which could be 
acceptable).

So I'm wondering... is that too far off the rails?  Would we need to 
segregate jobs to run only on certain slaves?  Does the shared mount bring 
along issues of configurations being overwritten or not read properly by 
each Jenkins instance?

Thanks for pondering.
