>>From the perspective of your process, nothing. If I open /tmp/foo,
and then someone else executes 'rm /tmp/foo'. I really don't
notice. I've still got the open file. It is probably true that no
other processes can now open the file, since they won't
see it in the filesystem, so whatever changes I make to
the file will be lost as soon as I close it. Of course, any
other processes that have opened the file before it was
removed will see changes.
If someone creates another file named with the name '/tmp/foo',
again, I won't notice. It's a different file with a different inode.
