Hello, RawFileIO is caching the file descriptors so that a file doesn't have to be opened for every operation. First it checks if the cached file descriptor is already compatible with the open request, and only re-opens the file if it is not. This could happen if the file was originally opened read-only and then later opened for write. The 'old' file descriptor is no longer used at that point, but we don't know if another thread is still using it. So both file descriptors are kept around until the file is closed.
If Windows does not allow a file to be renamed while the file is open, then why do you need to work around it in encfs? Once the user closes an encfs file, then the underlying file is closed.. regards, Valient On Fri, Dec 10, 2010 at 7:05 AM, Frediano Ziglio <fredd...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > I'm currently porting encfs to Windows platform and I hope someone > is interested and could help me. > > Currently I can initialize the directory, mount it, create, read and > write files and directories.
