h3. Modifying files and directories in Keep
-By default, all files in the Keep mount are read only. However, @arv-mount --enable-write@ enables you to perform the following operations using normal Unix command line tools (@touch@, @mv@, @rm@, @mkdir@, @rmdir@) and your own programs using standard POSIX file system APIs:

* Create, update, rename and delete individual files within collections
* Create and delete subdirectories inside collections
* Symlinks, hard links
* Changing permissions
* Extended attributes
+* Moving a subdirectory of a collection into a project, or moving a collection from a project into another collection
-If multiple clients try to modify the same file in the same collection, this result in a conflict. In this case, the most recent file wins, and the "loser" will be renamed to a conflict file in the form @name~YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS~conflict~@.
+If multiple clients (separate instances of arv-mount or other arvados applications) modify the same file in the same collection within a short time interval, this may result in a conflict. In this case, the most recent commit wins, and the "loser" will be renamed to a conflict file in the form @name~YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS~conflict~@.
-Please note this feature is in beta testing. In particular, the conflict mechanism is itself currently subject to race condiditions with potential for data loss when a collection is being modified simultaneously by multiple clients. This issue will be resolved in future development.
