 Avoiding Write Collisions in Tahoe

+If there is more than one simultaneous attempt to change a mutable file
+or directory, then an ``UncoordinatedWriteError`` may result.
+This might, in rare cases, cause the file or directory contents to be
+accidentally deleted.  The user is expected to ensure that there is at
+most one outstanding write or update request for a given file or
+directory at a time.  One convenient way to accomplish this is to make

 write.

+If mutable parts of a filesystem are accessed via sshfs, only a single
+sshfs mount should be used. There may be data loss if mutable files or
+directories are accessed via two sshfs mounts, or written both via sshfs
+and from other clients.
