\begin{pset}
  Suppose $R_1$ has deleted file $F$ and thrown away the deletion
  notice. If this is true, it must be because the directory containing
  $F$ was synchronized, and thus a bound on the deletion time can be
  obtained from the synchronization time of the directory. If $R_2$
  then modifies $F$, during synchronization the two replicas will
  discover that a conflict exists because $F$ was modified on both
  copies since $R_2$'s last synchronization time.
