Hi Douglas,

I think you misunderstood something:

 > ... the command "erase" files from client side

The user files are saved in /home/username.
These are not stored in the image.
/home is mounted from the server via SSHFS.

The programs are saved in /usr.
These are stored in the image.
/usr (along with /) is mounted from the server via NBD.

So when you add new programs using ltsp-update-image,
the user files are not affected nor deleted,
because they are in the server /home, not in the NBD image.
