-One work around is to create a symlink from ~/.superset to a directory located
on a non-NFS partition.
+You can override this path using the ``SUPERSET_HOME`` environment variable.
-Another work around is to change where superset stores the sqlite database by
adding ``SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI = 'sqlite:////new/localtion/superset.db'`` in
superset_config.py (create the file if needed), then adding the directory where
superset_config.py lives to PYTHONPATH environment variable (e.g. ``export
