correct?
If it is OK that the transaction might be restarted or interrupted, then using
the C FFI on the server side for filesystem operations makes sense.
Right, and see Section 11.1 of the Ur/Web manual for information on the
API to use, especially uw_register_transactional().
At a higher level, though, my advice is to avoid using the filesystem
wherever possible. Conventional filesystems just present a poorly
designed interface for highly concurrent programs! (And some day, if
not now, high concurrency may be important for your application.)
