RE: Ring Problem

Hmmm
And here I would have thought that the standard approach would have been to
write a new file to a dummy name and, upon successful completion, to then
rename the old file and then rename the new file, and upon successful
completion, to then delete the old file.
But maybe I'm just paranoid.

When server storage (drive) space is max'ed out, this can happen easily.  It
happens when you are writing a file.  For instance, when someone joins or
edits a ring or site.  The program requests the server to rewrite the file.
The server will first delete the file of the same name, then commence to
write it.  If it receives an "out of space" message while it is writing, it
will then abort the write, leaving neither the old file or the revised one.
