Are you certain lharc doesn't conflict with itself? A number of
ported utilities are known to assume that only one copy of their program is
running (or running in a given directory). Someone here has indicated to
me that lharc probably has this problem.
The FS is quite reliable against large numbers of simultaneous
operations. Unlike OFS, even re-use of the blocks of deleted files in a
directory while it's currently exnexting over them will not hurt FFS (the
classic design problem with ExNext).
