Hello, xen-users.

Tell me please is it possible in any way to start multiple domUs using the same disk? It looks like the only way to import the same disk into several domUs is achived by mounting this disk in the read-only mode. However I can't mount the root device in read-only mode (my linux simply won't boot normally). Is there any alternatives to do this? Clearly, there is no simple solution, as one have to manage all possible conflicts that may occure when two or more domUs will try to modify the same data.
Why not use an NFS or similar network based access to a central disk repository?
