   what i'm trying to do is as follows:
   we are writing a filesystem layer to allow more than one machine write to
   the same disk.
   we could have implement a brand new FS for this reason like the GFS folks
   are doing, but we are not ready for such a big project. so we are trying to
   hack into existing FS and manipuilate them to support this feature.

OK, stupid question time.......

Why don't you just use GFS and be done with it? :-)

It's designed to do exactly what you're trying to do, and its design is
a lot cleaner than the one you're trying to use.
