Right... And public etc. Got it, thanx. And it's not possible to replicate
'readable'? Say for homedirs etc?

So THESE are what _I_ should really replicate? Low on disk, remember...
Oki, so I won't have much use of my 'replicas' but it should ease a 
restore if the main server crash, and also WHEN (hopefully WHEN and not
