Hi,
We have an application in which many users can access the same
data file. The data is protected from simultaneous updates using
write locks. If one user is doing updates to the file, what happens
to the lock if a server starts to salvage or the client loses the
connection to the server due to network problems? Can a second
user access the data file? Is he locked out til the first user
reestablishes a connection and gives up the lock? Or does the
cache manager of the first user somehow give up the lock after
it determines it can't reestablish a connection with the server?
If this is the case, how long does the cache manager wait before
giving up the lock?
Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
