Clearing old lock files #80

Closed tstarck closed 9 years ago

tstarck commented 10 years ago

In fs.js there is a comment:

// TODO remove lock files that are older than 15 seconds to defend against previous crashes

Should old lock files be cleared when adapter is first initialized?

No. There can be multiple processes spun up and if a new process always clears lock files, mayhem ensues.

There should be a garbage collection mechanism for this, just as there should be one for the unused directories in the file storages.
