I spoke too soon. If I give the Fossil user permissions (e.g. don't clone as nobody) then the issue arises again. It doesn't appear to be isolated to just SSH. I can cause locking errors with HTTP too, including some interesting behavior like files unexpectedly being removed from the cloned repository. For example, after modifying a test repo and then starting a sync via HTTP, I started a sync from another HTTP client which caused this: $ f sync Sync with http://amb@fossil:8080/ Round-trips: 24 Artifacts sent: 24 received: 0 Error: Database error: database is locked: {COMMIT} Round-trips: 24 Artifacts sent: 24 received: 0 Sync finished with 3840799 bytes sent, 65248 bytes received After the second sync completed (having received a partial set of artifacts), I did an update and suddenly files began being removed (presumably due to the partial commit above). After letting the original commit run to completion another time, I did an update in the second but the files have not come back: On the first committer: $ f stat | grep checkout checkout: 4393b959511a32ec949f32900049d1195226f8d4 2014-04-19 01:05:46 UTC $ ls | wc -l 101 On the second: $ f stat | grep checkout checkout: 4393b959511a32ec949f32900049d1195226f8d4 2014-04-19 01:05:46 UTC $ ls | wc -l 31 Only after closing and opening the local repository was I able to make the files come back, but I wonder what would have happened had I tried to commit files during the time that it was in this state. It's possible that using SSH as a client makes it easier to cause problems, but it does appear to be possible to run into issues with HTTP as well. Once I even got told that a fork had happened (both clients had autosync on). But it seems to be due in part to large commits and slow disk. I'll keep looking at it as I get time.
