    Yep; that's it.  A /home is created normally, and then my NFS server
loads a communal /home over the top of it.  If you were to mount a
second drive the same way, it'd work that way, too.

    In fact, I feel safer with /home on another partition- should I
later want to change distros, or make up for a foolish mistake (rare,
but embarrassing) I can just umount /home and start fresh.
