There simply isn't a safe way of doing it. The USB Mass Storage protocol is designed for non-shared devices. It hasn't got any mechanism for allowing data to be shared between two independent systems; the host will always assume that nothing else can change the data. Now you can ignore all the warnings and just go ahead with it anyway. If you're lucky, you won't crash either the gadget or the host and your filesystem won't get corrupted. If you possibly can, try to make sure that at least one of the two machines has it mounted read-only -- that should prevent corruption.
