Can Block Storage be attached at several hosts at once to treat it as shared storage?
Actually, see the subject.

No. You can move them among your linodes in the same facility but they can not be attached at the same time to more than 1 linode.

Hey there!
As JeremyJ said, you won't be able to attach a Block Storage Volume to more than one Linode at a time, however if you set up one server as an NFS Server, you can share the Block Storage Volume on that server as a Network File System. This guide should help get you set up with NFS on a Debian 9 Linode and I think is a good place to start investigating that as a possibility.
I hope this helps get you pointed in the right direction!
Is there a good alternative to NFS? NFS is really a dog, and often breaks. Timeouts, stale mounts, all kinds of nonsense.
