Subject: Re: [PATCH 10/10] NFS: support parallel updates in the one directory.

Just curious, how is this handled if I have a server with an EXT#
filesystem which is exported via NFS to multiple clients.  If those
NFS clients are doing lots of changes in a single directory, I can see
how the NFS server handles that, but what about if at the same time
someone does multiple changes on the server in that EXT# behind the
NFSd's back, how are the conflicts handled?

It would seem that this all really needs to purely happen at the VFS
layer, but I'm probably missing something.

I ask this because my home server exports /home to a couple of other
systems via NFS, but I still work in /home on the server.  


NeilBrown> Handling of silly-rename - both for unlink and for the rename target -
