[K12OSN] Mounting local HD for high bandwidth apps

[Robert Arkiletian]

Working with high bandwidth media (blender, kino, video editing) is
not possible with 30 clients off a regular dual xeon even with gigabit
link to the switch. Not only because of high cpu requirement but also
because of extremely high bandwidth requirement. Therefore, if the
clients are fast enough, would it be possible to launch the apps
locally (this is already documented) but ALSO use the local hard
drives as home directories? So essentially, the OS would be loaded
remotely, apps would be sent over NFS and run locally and storage
would also be local.
