How does it prevent it?  Is it as I described in my last message in the
GUI?  Does using a raw disk really prevent the GUI from preventing one
from assigning the disk to two VMs?  This is not so bad if it's the case
since I would use real disks anyway -- which is what I do with VMware
Server currently.  I've never tried to share virtual disks.

But if the GUI prevents the dual assignment as above, it won't be
possible.

"simple"?  Maybe.  It requires some .vmdk file tweaks.  But that's for
another list.  :-)
