    摘要: A method and system for providing a plurality of host systems shared access to data files from a file server. The method includes monitoring a control file for updates, the control file located within a corresponding host directory located within the file server; receiving a request for access to a data file stored on the file server, the access request being written to the control file, the access request including a requested data file operation; performing the requested data file operation in response to the control file being updated with the access request; creating a status file in the host directory in which the requested data file operation was performed upon completion of the requested data file operation; writing status data in the status file, the status data including a result of the performance of the requested data file operation; and allowing access to the host directory in which the requested data file operation was performed in response to the status data being written to the status file.
