I had the same complaint. In my case, it prevents my satellite service from
aggregating the requests, meaning I get an extra half-second latency for
every image on a page.

Thank you for the suggestions.

I can set up a partition or a folder.* In the case of the partition, I can mount this in several places at once, both /home/user1 and /home/user2.* Permissions will keep this parition secure and accessible to family members.



Did I get that correct?

I'll try to discover what is ACL.

You can mount a directory - its called a bind mount. Have a look at the
--bind option in the mount(8) man page.
