Did Multics have anything like NFS? Everything is easier if your kernel has control of the underlying device.

  Well the problematic example given in the article was NTFS where the whole filesystem can disappear, but the problem applied to local files too, eg if their size is changed by another process.

    Where did you see mention of NTFS? I was referring to "As it turns out, the ticket comes from someone using a networked drive."

      Sorry, it was a typo, I meant NFS or more generally some type of networked drive.
