Why would you want to do that? That sounds a whole lot of problems waiting
to happen, besides being really slow.
sshfs and autofs are a simple way to set up network home directories
without having to build any infrastructure other than an SSH server
and some storage on a remote system. It uses FUSE, so it only
supports a subset of the POSIX filesystem functions.
No one wants to support network filesystems anymore, I guess. BTW,
AFS still works great for network home directories, and Fedora has an
AFS client baked into the kernel. Works with gnome-keyring too. :)
I've been trying to also get SMB3 to work well for $HOME, but its not
there yet.
