Avoiding Write Collisions in Tahoe
|
|
==================================
|
|
|
|
Tahoe does not provide locking of the mutable files and directories.
|
|
If there is more than one simultaneous attempt to change a mutable file
|
|
or directory, then an <cite>UncoordinatedWriteError</p> will result.
|
|
This might, in rare cases, cause the file or directory contents to be
|
|
accidentally deleted. The user is expected to ensure that there is at
|
|
most one outstanding write or update request for a given file or
|
|
directory at a time. One convenient way to accomplish this is to make
|
|
a different file or directory for each person or process which wants to
|
|
write.
