Of course you can, but I thought the former scenario was the topic of  
discussion.  I have a stack of firewire disks I share between  
systems, but none of the filesystems are mounted on more than one  
system at a time, even when they're connected to multiple machines.

I'm considering OCFS for at least one set of disks, though.
