you can mount a file system/directory into a non-global zone using the 'add fs' command in zonecfg. This is how I add other directories (such as read/write) to a non-global zone, and with the proper permissions, a non-privileged user in the global zone can also access it. Locking and data loss issues are the same as for two processes accessing the same directory or file within a zone (e.g. to vi sessions to the same file may mean someone's work gets lost).
