Ok, I am planning on getting an SSD for my wife's laptop and I am most likely going with a 32GB. She has a crapload of pictures and they will not fit, and a 32GB is well within my price range. I intend to mount a few subdirectories of her home folder through NFS mounts in fstab. Videos, Pictures, Music, Downloads, Documents, and Desktop. It will allow all of the hidden folders in the root of her home directory to stay local (=faster?), while giving her access to the storage she needs. Any thoughts, snafus, gotchas or recommended settings? I tested with Kubuntu (which she runs on her laptop) in a vbox vm in bridged mode, and I will test with my netbook this weekend. I currently have my iMac as a temp server (Snow Leopard's nfsd) while I am working on my server (replacing bare metal Ubuntu server with XenServer for learning purposes). For my test I left everything wide open, which I will lock down a bit later, and here is one of my fstab lines:

10.10.10.10:/Volumes/MacHD2/home/marshall/Documents /home/marshall/Documents nfs rw,hard,intr 0 0

Hopefully this can be a sort of roaming profile for the house (her laptop never leaves the house). I will send an update on my netbook test this weekend. TIA!
