My boss is asking me what parts of a Linux file system can be shared.

My somewhat generic answer was 'The parts that can be guaranteed to only
ever be read only'.

He countered that he read it could be done.  I said that if we designing
for  that from the word go, it would be significantly easier to do than to
retrofit it into a dozen guests.

So the question is, whom on the list has had experience with trying to
share as much of the file system as is possible, and what did you choose to
share? Was it worth the hassle of backfitting it or did you go forward with
that design in mind.  If you retrofitted it, what did you learn, and what
should we avoid should we choose to do this?
