I'm looking into a mechanism for sharing text on exec on Minix.

It's relatively straightforward to save the inode/device for each execed file.
Except short of leaving the file open (i.e. one file descriptor per execed
process) how do you prohibit the file system from writing over that file?

Any other good ways to uniquely identify files and be able to correctly identify
whether the previously execed file is inconsistent with what is currently on
disk?
