If the host os and your guest oss are all linux, take a look at user mode
linux.

  http://user-mode-linux.sf.net/

It has a feature designed for multiple instances, cow (copy on write)  
filesystems in files, where each instance reads from the one read-only
file system image, but writes its private changes back to a separate file
system image.
