I'm sure that with enough cleverness this is possible but that doesn't make it a good idea. 

A root filesystem can cost less than a dollar but sharing one means that when you need to modify /etc/hosts or a firewall config or test an ssh config you risk inadvertently changing all VMs.

Hi,

 

I require to make the rootfilesystem readonly, and use a separate disk space to capture the user made changes once the VM is up & running..

 

Thereby, I want to use same rootfilesystem across the VMs..

 

 

Kindly guide me ..

 

- regards
