Yeah, I don't know why I said in home directory and just mounted when I need it. Might as well be mounted all the time and system-wide. It just all came out in some kind of rambling excited nonsense.

The TeX Live packages are by far the largest on my system. Last time I looked there were loads of very small and moderately compressible files that caused space usage to be exaggerated.

The only time the non-user TeX directories need to be writeable is to update or install new packages, so it doesn't matter if it it's read only most of the time.
