That's an interesting question. I'm not much of a shared storage administrator but from an editing room setup kinda guy I'd be more concerned about the issues that might crop up with multiple users on a workstation. I'm only speculating but doesn't that really open up the potential for things like fonts and apps to end up being only accessible to a certain user. I know sometimes when if not all when I install software on macs there is a prompt for "all users." What happens if "Headphone Separator A" loads in their special font and later "Headphone Separator B" need to use that font on the same system? Will it be available. I know there are choices as to how fonts etc... get managed but I've never paid much attention to the specifics because I've always set up bays with one main user. Curious what I can learn from your experiment.
