If you use a clustered filesystem then you can safely mount it on multiple
machines.
If you use a non-clustered filesystem it can still mount and even appear to
work for a while. It's surprising how many writes you can make to a dual-
mounted filesystem that's not designed for such things before you get a
totally broken filesystem.

I've tried this with dual-attached FC and had no problems mounting. In what
way is directly connected SCSI different from FC?
