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