Subject: Protect against servers stepping on each other's toes
Date: Fri, 19 Oct 2001 23:35:39 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <vafhesvtis4.fsf@INBOX.auto.gnus.tok.lucy.cs.uni-dortmund.de> (raw)
If I have two servers using the same directory, there is potential for
the two stepping on each other's toes.
Here's a suggestion: when a server is first activated, it writes
something special to its directory which says what server `owns' that
directory.
But even before that, each server looks to see if some other server
has already written that the directory is `owned' by it. When this
happens, a warning is issued or something like that.
Of course, given a directory d, all backends should use the same
method for `claiming' the directory; else they might trample on each
other's territory after all.
Also, maybe we want to put the claiming information inthe active
file. Maybe in the directory _and_ in the active file?
Thoughts?

GNU/Linux provides a nice `poweroff' command, but where is `poweron'?
