Essence of the question: I have several physical disks, all the space is mounted, the OS is one. How can I save information (not service to the system) so that when one of the disks (without OS) is disconnected, I can use it on another machine? What form will it take? Where is the data about where each file is attached stored?

Have you ever used flash drives?
here is almost the same thing - each disk has its own file system. differences:
- it looks like you have them mounted all the time - google fstab (and mount )
- and more about the file system, Fat32 flash drives by default, everyone eats it, but Linux fs under Windows, for example, will not be read. if you need an exchange with Windows, Ntfs for the disk is better than Fat32, and it is perfectly processed by Linux, then draw your
own conclusions
ps here they remind you that there is firewood for Ext4 for Windows, for example, but as far as I remember, they are still readonly ;(
.. this is if you are interested in Windows at all, if not - drag disks on Ext4 between Linuxes and don't worry;)
pps another piece of advice (hardware) if it's not ssd, namely hard drives, external or in boxes, after turning off the power, you need to give the disk time to stop the spindle, at least a minute, only after that somersault it

I guess the question is - how to use the data somewhere else if the disk is offline?
Look towards NFS. Create a storage machine, set up NFS Kernel Server and mount it on the servers you need.
