Rebooting one system makes it appear on other systems as an "external

Is reboot really necessary or just a ritual imposed by lazy OS designers?
In order for two systems to have block-level-access to the same disk a
consistency management layer is required that does not in general exist.
apart from that, yes.
block-level-filesystem managers are common enough in san applications, and
apple actually sells one (xsan) but none of the firewire stuff leverages
that.
