I'd like a confirmation of my understanding of the storage gadget
driver:

The storage gadget takes a backing file and exposes it to a USB host as
a disk.  Can I also mount that as a filesystem on the system running the
gadget driver?  I'm guessing not -- that sounds like two things mounting
the same device and is probably a Really Bad Idea.

In fact, if the USB mass storage protocol is something along the lines
of SCSI-over-USB, it won't be possible to share a storage gadget between
hosts (local and remote) at all, because the protocol speaks below the
filesystem level and doesn't expect anyone else to be modifying the
device.

But please do tell me if I'm wrong about this, because it's something
I'd *like* to do.
