there might be 3 processes:

1) one writing
2) one reading (web server)
3) one doing the copy

It might be unrealistic that all 3 run at exactly the same time. But  
you never know.

I think 1 and 2 at the same time is no problem. But what happes when  
1 and 3 runs
at the same time. Is the copy ok or corrupt?

Regards,
Peter
