The best example would be a running an email or chat server. The spool/media directories can go large pretty quick as users share pictures, gifs, ... So I would like to mount it from a remote location because the matrix server itself only has a 20G SSD for the whole OS. Rsync won't cut it there as I have a specific process writing to a location.
Ah, I see.
Perhaps sshfs could be an alternative. Not sure of the performance out of the box, but it is possible to tweak a bit.

I'll look more into FUSE based remote storage more generally because it seems to be my only option besides NFS. I've heard great feedback from SSHFS so I'll bench it eventually and see how it goes.
