I mean race conditions between the operations, e.g. an update followed by a delete:

1. update x in memory

2. delete x in memory

3. update fn checks for file on disk

4. delete x from disk

5. update x on disk

Is this not possible and you end up with different state in memory and on disk.

hmmm. it does seem possible. Let me look into that, thanks!

great find. i’ve got some adjustments in mind, mainly carefully placed locks. i’d like to give you credit for the call out in the docs/acknowledgment file. is there some better way to reference you than jabradoodle? the code i’m considering is in the branch under_consideration.

Thanks that is kind of you. For the time being I would rather not tie my real life identity to my Internet identity.
