If I understood it correctly, every locate search would read the files on the
remote volumes, right? The performance will suffer a bit I think. For example,
NFS over 11mbit wifi is fine, but waiting tens of seconds for the database to
download isn't good. Probably a global locate cache db that merges all the
fs-local ones would be nice.
