The other way to limit this is by trying to detect the single-writer case, since it's probably also rare for multiple clients to write to the same file. Are there any common cases where two clients share the same TCP connection? Maybe that would be a conservative enough test? And you wouldn't have to track every connection that's ever sent a WRITE to a given file. Just remember the first one, with a flag to track whether anyone else has ever written to it. ?? --b.
