Has anyone any experience of sharing /usr using vm?

I want to try and use this on our increasing number of production SuSE
platforms.

I have tried an experiment and all went well but I noticed that any update
made on the owning system was not propagated to the sharing systems. I
presume this is because they are holding a copy of the 'superblock' in
storage. My concern is that an inode will be re-used on the owning system
and thus render the shared systems view of the file system corrupt.

What do you think?

Phil
