If you have any influence on the client-side process that generates the 
file, the easiest and safest way would be to write the file with a 
temporary filename (let's say with a ".tmp" suffix), and let the client 
rename the file to its final name only after it is "done" with it. Let 
your VFS module ignore temporary files, and you should be safe.

(This also works nicely for FTP uploads where some server-side process 
needs to know when an upload is complete.)
