Actually, I don't think you want a shared filesystem r/w to any image while it
is r/o to several other images. Subtle things change on a read-write disk;
accessed dates get touched, and things in the directory float. These things
could make your r/o systems unstable, even if you aren't actively changing
things on the shared filesystem. Ext2/3 and Reiser are not meant to be shared
this way, and lots of stuff gets cached in storage...

Hi Tim,
What you want to do is feasible, but require good planning.
For an example, you can share RO the /usr filesystem. When you apply a
patch on the main system which owns the disk in RW, your other machines ARE
NOT aware of the changes until you re-mount the filesystem on each Linux
machine.
