We have many Linux machines of different brands, sharing the same NFS filesystem for home. The Lucene file indexing demo program is failing with LockObainFailedException only on one particular Linux machine (Fedora Core 4, x86). I am including the console output at the bottom of this message.
I tried Lucene 2.9.0, 2.9.1 and 3.0.0, and the result is identical. After searching the Internet, I saw some postings suggesting that this happens when the disk space is low. But there seem to be more than enough for this small demo. I didn't understand suggestions about lockd. I'd appreciate for any advices on how to find the cause of this Exception. Thank you in advance. T.
