I've just realized that in 9P the wstat would refuse
to rename an entry if a target name already exists.
So how can I atomically replace one file with another
one, so that during the operation clients opening
it would not fail?
In POSIX rename gives you such an atomicity:

This is the same kind of problem I had under Xen in the beginning. The
fix is to figure out what vmware gives you in the way of time info and
use that exclusively.
It problem seems odd but you can have cases where, e.g., 'sleep 10'
works and date is not right. I had this under both lguest and xen.

perhaps wrongly, i'd assumed that the posix standard

ron was referring to those. perhaps it defines less
