Would there be some way to cause file accesses to freeze, rather than abort,
when a ticket for file access or some such thing expired? It would
still be annoying, but much less annoying than just losing a multi-hour
(or day, or week) job. Ticket lifetimes would be much less of an issue.
I'm not sure what the best way to do this would be. At a minimum, file servers
would have to distinguish expired mappings/tickets from ordinary access
control failure and return a different error code.
But then what? Should the client just go and suspend the process?
Sleep for a while and retry? Send a message to a daemon (which could try to
notify the user that the job had gone to sleep)?
