If they have different IP addresses, then you don't really need a
script to modify disklist.  The other OSes will just fail when amdump
is run, and get picked up again next time.

However, this approach requires that each OS is available often enough
in your tapecycle to have satisfactory backups.

Having everything mounted on each OS has advantages here.
