I know that this is not really a lucene problem but looking around I have not been able to find much about it.
I recently ran into a problem where I cannot obtain a lock due to a problem with native file system locks. The strange thing is that this was working a few days ago and I have just started seeing problems today. As far as I know nothing has changed, but I am sure something did actually change to cause this problem I am just not sure where to start looking. I get a LockObtainedFailedException... java.io.IOException: protocol family not supported... Caused by..sun.nio.ch.FileChannelImpl.lock0(NativeMethod) Any ideas on were to start looking would be extremely helpful. I am running on Redhat 4. ________________________________ This e-mail and any files transmitted with it may be proprietary and are intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
