Description
I would like to separate user data from application data in the data directory. The goal is to store only the user files on a nfs share. If I change the path of the data directory in config.php to the share, there is also application data like appstore_ and updater-.
Can't the several user directories be created in another subfolder "users"? This folder can then be relocated with a symlink.
Maybe there is already a possibility?

Research direction
Start with config.php and trace how the data directory, appstore_, updater-, and user directories are resolved. Check whether an existing relocation mechanism supports this layout; done should either separate user data from application data for NFS relocation or clearly establish the supported alternative.
