Hello all,
I am accessing a filesystem from different servers
over NFS. Now i want to lock files while i access them (using flock). Now i have
one problem, flock only works on a filehandle. Most of the time I dont have
access to a filehandle because the filesystem access is handled in a module.
I do know the filename that has to be locked, but i
am not using a filehandle. Is there a way for me to lock the file anyway? The
only way i can think of is opening a temp filehandle on the file, lock it, do
the file operations and then close the filehandle again. This looks a bit dirty
to me and i don't know if there are any caveats with this method.
Anyone that can offer me some advise on
this?
Thank you,
Merijn
