Users have mounted /home for years now, its nothing new. Many customers/use use NIS/LDAP based authentication for users home directories/application runs etc. People have even used GlusterFS for remote booting mechanism over PXE. Gordan Bobic was the last one i heard who was running this successfully to build a cluster of farms. Possibly used self-heal in replicate to provision operating system on new boxes. Firefox and sqlite interaction has been kind of whacky in the past. Firefox had a bug back then which would cause it to corrupt itself. Some have solved their problems by mounting the server side with some user_xattr (if its ext3/ext4), possibly firefox uses 'user' domain xattrs. Detailed description of Operating system, Firefox version and GlusterFS would help. Giovanni can you open a bug for this, so that we can track the discussion there?. Thank you. -Harsha On Fri, Jan 6, 2012 at 10:30 AM, John Mark Walker <johnmark at redhat.com> wrote: > > ----- Original Message ----- >> Hi, >> >> 2012/1/6 Dr. Michael J.
