I want to use VBox to test a distributed filesystem, but it won't let

Just to make it clear: this is not a mistake, there will be no
conflicts, the distributed filesystem should solve all that, allowing
both machines to access the same volume (read/write) at the same time.
But VBox doesn't seem to agree.
Hmmm. It seems you want the volume accessed as a block special device,
but not mounted as a filesystem. I don't know that VBox supports that.
How is this planned to work in the real world? Multiple SCSI/USB/1394
ports connected to the various hosts; host software arbitrating
integrity, connected by ... TCP/IP? Control path via disk controller?
