automated inventory management
To achieve this, shared disk file systems must synchronise write accesses in addition to
the functions of local file systems. It should be ensured locally that new files are written
to different areas of the hard disk. It must also be ensured that automated inventory management entries are marked
as invalid. Let us assume that two computers each have a file in their local cache and
one of the computers changes the file. If the second computer subsequently reads the file
again it may not take the now invalid copy from the cache.
