Running several instances of an fs server...

[Ludovic Courtès]

Hi!

I'm wondering what happens when several instances of a filesystem server (with
the same device as a parameter) run on a machine? In other words, what happens
to the underlying data? How is data consistency handled?

Since filesystems can be `mounted' in users directories, serveral users of the
same machine are very likely to mount the same filesystem in their own home
dir, so that's an important issue.

Thanks,
Ludovic.
