global file lock
The purpose of the Nasuni Global File Lock™ feature is to prevent conflicts when two or more users
attempt to change the same file on different Nasuni Edge Appliances. If you enable the Global File Lock
feature for a directory and its descendants, any files in that directory or its descendants can only be
changed by one user at a time. Any other users cannot change the same file at the same time.
You can also manually break the locking of a file. This might become necessary if a user leaves a file
open and another user needs to open that file.
