[LUNI] Making a private network somewhat public.

[Jason Rexilius]

You can mount a shared physical drive with one machine as read-write and 
others read only without causing too many problems.

You can also create separate partitions on the device like such as:

/dev/hda1
/dev/hda2

machine 1 can mount /dev/hda1 read-write and /dev/hda2 as read-only
machine 2 can mount /dev/hda2 read-write and /dev/hda1 as read-only

The only way to have both machines read-write on the same parition is to 
have a distributed lock manager and a cluster filesystem that supports 
that model (gfs, lustre, etc.)
