We see this behavior frequently with uv on Windows. The symptoms indicate that another user or process has the file open; but very often this is definitely not the case. We've been told that the problem is due to a table of open files (presumably in Windows rather than uv) which becomes out of sync with reality. As you've discovered, the solution is to reboot; but this is only a temporary fix until the problem recurs.
I've tried to create the problem by breaking network connections and otherwise "ungracefully" terminating processes and have never been able to cause the problem to occur. The fact that this doesn't occur on UNIX systems tends to confirm that the out of sync table is within Windows rather than uv. If anyone has insight into the problem it would really be appreciated by many!

When I use RESIZE to resize a file, I frequently get this error: RESIZE: Error on POREQ. File not resized. I generally CLEAR.FILE the file first, having saved off the records elsewhere, but I get the error whether I CLEAR.FILE or not. Incidentally, I NEVER saw this error when the system was running on Solaris. I have determined that this is NOT a permissions issue. Then I thought, well maybe someone has the file open, but even after hours with nobody on I get the same error. If I reboot the machine, I can resize any file until a day or so goes by and the error starts cropping up again. One further factoid- if I DELETE.FILE the file, it will not do it (error) but merrily trashes the DATA portion of the file. Then, I can not CREATE.FILE the file either. This has progressed to the extreme annoyance phase. Anyone know what's going on here?
