Sharing a physical partition and ENBD?

Hi!

I'm building a cluster based on RedHat Cluster Manager. This software 
requires a small (20-30MB) shared device that both (or all) servers can 
access simoultaneously. The software uses raw devices, so there is no 
filesystem on that device (or the software manages reads & writes). The 
software can actually use two shared devices, but the other is just a 
backup.

My idea was to use a small partition on a local disk and export it to ENBD 
- the cluster manager software on the first server would then use that 
physical partition, which would also be exported to ENBD and used by the 
other server.

On the second server, I would do the same - however it's physical 
partition and it's ENBD export would be used as a 2nd (backup) shared 
device.

Does that sound possible?

 Thanks, Danilo
