      Description

      I have been looking at the issues on Inter-Process Communication in
      SoftHSMv2. The current issue is that OpenBSD does not implement POSIX
      Semaphores and NetBSD/Solaris has a maximum length of 14 characters on the
      names of the named semaphores. I tried to convert it over to System V
      semaphores, but then we have an issue that we hit the maximum number
      of semaphores and that there is no good equivalent to sem_unlink().

      There will potentially also be a problem with the number of objects. Both in number of objects per directory, but also that there is a semaphore per object.

      May be the file storage should be re-designed?
