Concurrent File Updates
Concurrency control becomes an issue when more than one person or client is accessing the same file and want to update it. Hence updates to the file from one client should not interfere with access and updates from other clients. Concurrency control or locking may either be built into the file system or provided by an add-on protocol.

Famous quotes containing the words concurrent and/or file:
“I have been too long acquainted with human nature to have great regard for human testimony; and a very great degree of probability, supported by various concurrent circumstances, conspiring in one point, will have much greater weight with me, than human testimony upon oath, or even upon honour; both of which I have frequently seen considerably warped by private views.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
“Probably nothing in the experience of the rank and file of workers causes more bitterness and envy than the realization which comes sooner or later to many of them that they are “stuck” and can go no further.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
