Comment 17 for bug 385208

Benjamin:

The "inside home" support was the first step for a more broad support (not restricting to home had too many open variables at the time: for example, what should be done if you want to synchronize "/dev"?).

We preferred to give support inside HOME, that start a too big discussion that might finished in this feature not being in Lucid.

As I said, there're plans to support directories *outside* home... the best you can do for that is to open a new bug for it. It would be awesome if you specify your use case (external hard drive, for example), where you mount it, which directories you'll want to support, what do you expect to happen when you unplug the disk and plug it again and data in it changed, etc.

Thank you very much for your time!
