Hi,

I know this cannot be done at this moment, but I'm interested to hear
anyone's (potential) solution to this problem:

(http://www.linux-usb.org/gadget/file_storage.html )
 AN IMPORTANT WARNING! While FSG is running and the gadget is
connected to a USB host, that USB host will use the backing storage as
a private disk drive.  It will not expect to see any changes in the
backing storage other than the ones it makes. Extraneous changes are
liable to corrupt the filesystem and may even crash the host.  Only
one system (normally, the USB host) may write to the backing storage,
and if one system is writing that data, no other should be reading it.
 The only safe way to share the backing storage between the host and
the gadget's operating system at the same time is to make it read-only
on both sides.

I currently have a linux system using the NET2280 PCI USB Device
controller and the File-Backed Storage Linux-USB gadget module.  This
allows me to access the linux machine as a mass storage device.

Is there any way so the host and the client can access the shared data
on the virtual image file at the same time? Or is there any way to
work around this?

Even if this involves some software development, please let me know :)

Any help would be REALLY appreciated.

Thank you,

- Justin
