| Description: |
There is a race condition in file mkdir with two process atempting to create the same multi-level directory path at the same time will cause one of the processes to get an EEXIST error. This is caused by one process creating a directory between the time the other process checks if the directory exists and attempts to create it. While this is uncommon on a single system, it's easy to reproduce on a large cluster with a shared file system. | |||
