There are also several unresolved issues surrounding the cachemanager unlinking cached files while they are accessed by the kernel. On Unix this is not a problem at all, but Windows accesses files not by inode but on the basis of the path leading to the file. Not surprisingly, the Windows kernel doesn't like to be working with a file that is being yanked away. It will be some time before we get it all working correctly. JanReceived on 2000-04-18 19:33:50
