Perl module to do NFS (or not) locking 40.68 KB built 2026-10-16 19:35:33 GMT

Description

Program based of concept of hard linking of files being atomic across NFS. This concept was mentioned in Mail::Box::Locker (which was originally presented in Mail::Folder::Maildir). Some routine flow is taken from there -- particularly the idea of creating a random local file, hard linking a common file to the local file, and then checking the nlink status. Some ideologies were not complete (uncache mechanism, shared locking) and some coding was even incorrect (wrong stat index). File::NFSLock was written to be light, generic, and fast.
