I was partly confused, h.b.furuseth had the right of it: hbf>> No. Note that the file is written to tmp/. Only when it's complete is hbf>> it linked into new/. In any case, you don't even see the name until the file is complete. This works with UFS and NFS. (I think it breaks under AFS, actually, since it can't handle hardlinks across directories, but AFS is stupid in a lot of other ways too :-)
