Description

Is it required to lock a file (or a part of a file) during the hashing process1 on Linux?

On Windows we use LockFileEx(..) and UnLockFileEx(..), see source:application/Common/FileLocker.h.

There is no reason to lock under Linux because an event from the 'DirWatcherLinux' will be raised at the end of the write and the file will be re-hashed.
