[transactions] Scattered files

[Niklas Gustavsson <ni...@protocol7.com>]

Hi all,

when using FileResourceManager, you need to supply a storeDir. Now, if I 
need to write files to different locations within the same transaction. 
For example c:\somedir\somesubdir\file.txt and 
c:\someotherdir\someotherfile.txt, could I specify c:\ as my store dir 
and use the full path (without c:\) as the resource ID? Will this be an 
issue with having multiple FileResourceManagers working on c: (the Java 
docs mentions "Special Caution: Be very careful not to have two 
instances of FileResourceManager working in the same store and/or 
working dir."). What type of issues might this cause? Deadlocks?

Is it at all possible to write file to seperate discs (c:, d:) within 
the same transaction? I know that the docs does not recommend doing this 
because the lack of check for disc space, but anyways?

Thanks!

Yes.

No deadlocks, but possibly inconsistent data as locking only takes
effect inside a single resource manager.

It is not possible to do so. All files participating in a transaction
must have the same root.
