Thanks Zheng, so, do you mean client B can have “Fs" cap and thle same time client A can have “Fw” for the same file ? so that, client A and client B can write and read the same file at same time (different object) ? also another extended question, does that mean client A and client B can both have the “Fw” for the same file same time, and also they can write the same file at same time (different object) ?
