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. > Another option was to allow all guests to mount the file > system read/write but carefully configure each guest to "own" > different files or directories of sqlite files on the FS. 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. -- Oleg Goldshmidt | o...@goldshmidt.org _______________________________________________ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
