</div>AFAIK, AoE is a block level thing. What filesystem are you using?<br>
<br>
Unless it is a "distributed" ("clustered", whatever) filesystem like<br>
AFS or GPFS you simply cannot do it. If you try this with extN or<br>
CIFS/samba or anything "normal" all you'll get is a bunch of corrupted<br>
files.<br>
<br>
A filesystem does not live on disk only, it is represented as a bunch<br>
of data structures in your computer's memory. You cannot mount a disk<br>
on two independent computers simultaneously and expect consistency,<br>
unless the filesystem supports it.<br>
