Hi,
This is really a special case:
I plan to install atom with platformio IDE with ESP8266&32 Arduino Core on >dozen computers with several users each. In order to save space I will put atom on a network read-only folder.
I guess that platformio-ide then has to be installed by every user individually because of the individual .atom folder and individual .platformio/.cache folder and .platformio/appstate.json and .platformio/homestate.json. That is kind of ok as long as it does not take up to much space.
But the platform ESP8266 arduino takes ~130MB and ESP32 arduino takes ~320MB in .platformio/{platforms,packages,penv}. I would like to put these on a network read-only folder as well to save this space in all the user homes. Is there a way provided to do this, can hardlinks work in this case or is it impossible?
Best,
Lonz
