You dont symlink the common data in that specific configuration. You
mount the directories in read only insted.

In freebsd it is called nullfs.

mount_nullfs -o ro /path/to/fullserver/subdir /home/user1/subdir

I dont use this setup and love to be able to load plugins from anywhere.
It saves me tons of time.
