Out of locks with FSFS on NFS

[Bryan Linkous <br...@jhuapl.edu>]

Hello,
I have an FSFS style repository that is share over NFS.  When I try to
commit to a particular project in the repository, I get the following
message:

Transmitting file data ..svn: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: Can't get exclusive lock on file
'/data1/subversion/repo/db/write-lock': No locks available

I can commit and check out other projects without any problems.

Also, please reply to this address as I am not on the list.

Thanks in advance,
Bryan

Make sure the directory /data1/subversion/repo/db/ is read, write, and 
executable for you.

Are these on the same NFS share?

Yes: it is probably the permissions.
No: it could also be that the lock-daemon is not running on the NFS-server, 
ask your admins. (If you are the admin and you don't know what lockd is: 
call your system support guy.)
