I will have to learn about bind mounts and how to use them. This may be
the best option for the other 10% of situations. Especially for various
directories that are common across users such as music and movies.
This is fun. :)
Well I did some testing of the mount --bind and I find that works
exactly the way I want things to be. I will try it some more from
home and see what happens. Thank you for pointing me in this direction.
