Hi,

NFS is not a distributed filesystem. I don't think coda is either.
I don't want to dispute terminology . Everyone has its own :-)

You don't want to attach one virtual disk image to two simultaneously
running virtual machines .
Of course he does. That's what he said he wants to do.
It's not possible in real world too :-) .
Of course it is. You just need to get yourself out of the "personal
computing" space and see what's out there in the world of "real
computing" (i.e. HPC). Fibre channel disks can be multi-ported. Heck,
even (some, chipset willing) cheap old firewire disks can be attached to
two nodes at the same time.
VirtualBox is supposed to emulate desktop PC not full blown
hiper-complicated machine ,but I think any improvements will be
welcomed by developers :-).
If it is necessary to access one physical disk form few virtual machines
ATA over Ethernet it is way to go

Never tried ,but may work
