I did this for one or to years, but switched back to local copy of 
database (this is much faster). At login I copy my DB from the server 
to my local home directory and at logout I copy it back to the server. 
But I have a NFS server running. I don't know if it works with 
CIFS/Samba as well.

It works, but it is not recommended. If your network is shaky, your 
database will be damaged.
