This allowed the SM to:
- tell the user if a certain file is part of any session registered at the SM
Why would the user care?
(Lets assume I haven't use a certain machine for half a year...)
For many reasons:
- deleting - I would like to know, if I'm allowed to delete a certain file, thus
it's important to know if it is still used by any session
- destruction - I'm planning to use a destructive application an a file
and would like to know, if this file is used by any session, where
this modification would cause trouble
- duplication and release - one may intend to export all files (maybe
of a certain type) for a certain session and send them to a friend.
- freeing disk space - I would like to remove all files not used (anymore) by
any session (or by a _certain_ session). how else would I know ?
