Two processes can access the same device.  Right now I've got the 
following running:

dd if=/dev/hdc of=foo.iso
dd if=/dev/hdc of=foo1.iso

And, there is a cd mounted on /dev/hdc.

Both files foo.iso and foo1.iso are currently being created.

What about two processes writing to /dev/null?  It's a device and it 
happens all the time.

Try dd'ing a mounted disk and post the error you get.

Until later, Geoffrey
