This is never a good idea.  If you want to share a disk between z/VM guests, 
_all_ of them need to have it read only.  None of them can have it read-write.  
There's too many layers of caching going on for it to work reliably, if at all.

If you absolutely have to have access to a disk that is mounted read-write, use 
NFS to export it read only.
