Avoiding Write Collisions in TahoeΒΆ
Tahoe does not provide locking of mutable files and directories.
If there is more than one simultaneous attempt to change a mutable file
or directory, then an UncoordinatedWriteError
may 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 that wants to
write.
If mutable parts of a filesystem are accessed via sshfs, only a single sshfs mount should be used. There may be data loss if mutable files or directories are accessed via two sshfs mounts, or written both via sshfs and from other clients.
