Transactional filesystem access

[Eduardo Figoli]

Hi!

I have PidA in MachineA and PidB in machineB, both linked.

When PidB receives a message from PidA, PidB executes a write file accesss function
(using file:prwrite)

Suppose PidB takes T time to write to the file.
- What does it happens when an EXIT from PidA is received on time <T (while
the function in PidB is still executing)?
Is the file parcially written in some case?

- Has someone get around with this kind of situation when dealing with filesystem's access?
- Is some code in OTP I can use for this case?


again many thanks,
Eduardo Figoli
