I think you should be *very* concerned about the situation where 2
guests mount an ext3 partition and start to manipulate files
*sequentially*. It looks like you *are* concerned (rightly), since you
wrote that only one client *mounts* the partition at a time.

What if one starts, e.g., creating files or appending content to
existing files (and allocating new blocks, etc., in the process)? The
other clients won't be aware of it.

I admit I have not thought long and hard about it, but it sounds
dangerous to me.
