This is probably possible, and having the specifications surely helps.

An interesting question for those who would have already solved the first one... In what context (remote access, virtual machine, OS emulation etc.) are you sharing (or wanting to share) a block device ? What kind of synchronization are you suggesting to update the data normally kept in memory (such as the allocation table) ?
