Comment(by tomeu):

 Replying to [comment:16 gnu]:
 > Have you considered making a symlink from the Datastore directory to the
 actual file on another filesystem, when a hard link fails?  Then the
 activity can delete the symlink without deleting the actual file.

 Yeah, if there's no better solution that's what I would implement. Should
 be equally easy.

 The only problem I see is that usb sticks will need to be readable for all
 activities. Michael, is that ok?
