I sort of do the same thing, See, I like my homedir on a nfs share. (my philosophy is build one really good drive, raid, backups etc, then everything can use that, rather than try and put a good drive into everything) However there is stuff I don't really care about but would like to be fast and don't want eating my bandwidth, caches mainly, Now unlike you I tried to stay out of tmp so I made a /var/home/ on a fast local drive that vaguely mirrors /home and symlink the caches into it. That way it makes a good dedicated space for when I do want a fast local filesystem. As an antidote I had a hard time for a few years after I stopped using irix, I wanted(or at least my fingers wanted) the home directories to be under /usr/people
