Concurrent NFS access
- by Kristian
Similar to Concurrent FTP access.
How is concurrent file access handled for NFS? Say that one client is updating/overwriting a file on a NFS server, and a process on the server is reading that same file directly from the file system at the same time. Is there some sort of atomic handling of file read/write in NFS/Linux or do I have to work with tmp files to ensure data consistency?
I'm worried that the process reading the file will get corrupt data.
