I just want to write the same file synchronously on two machines' hard drives. I would prefer to do it through USB with hotplug. Basically, I want to provide some kind of reliability feature by which both machines can write metadata onto each others' HDD via USB. Both machines should be able to act as a backup for each other... so both should have info of each others' metadata. I had implemented this long ago using SCSI dual-porting but now I would like to use/write a driver to do the same via USB. Thanks. --Balaji.
