does nbd look like nfs (or a regular filesystem) in that when 2 processes
attempt to write to a file, one of them will see a write lock (eg if
the user is logged on twice to different front end servers, and running 2
copies of their mail reader, will the 2nd mailreader see that the mail
spool file is write locked)?

do you have 2 mysqld's running? How do you do the write locking?
