As long as you have a stable network connection, no issues. > I am trying to figure out the best way to allow students to work on > VHR-imagery in computer labs where their own sessions are limited in terms > of disk space and where the file server is normally read-only for students. ok, so you may set it up like this: (NFS)Server: /storage/grassdata/<various locations> --> export /storage/grassdata/ as read-only NFS share Put all data into the PERMANENT mapset. Student machine(s): # as root, one time needed (add to /etc/fstab): mkdir -p /storage/grassdata/ mount via NFS /storage/grassdata/ into /storage/grassdata/ # as user: mkdir $USER/grassdata mkdir $USER/grassdata/location1 ln -s /storage/grassdata//location1/PERMANENT $USER/grassdata/location1/ now start GRASS with $USER/grassdata/ and location1 and create a new user mapset within it. That will stay locally while PERMANENT comes from the NFS server in read-only.
