Please never remove the lock file or any file under the database directory manually. Removing the lock file will allow dual boot which will corrupt your database.
On a slightly related note, I'm struggling to get replication to work, getting an error when I start up the slave:
DERBY SQL error: SQLCODE: -1, SQLSTATE: XRE09, SQLERRMC: Cannot start replication slave mode for database 'opensolaris'. The database has already been booted. [XRE09]
It hasn't - I started the slave with no database directory at all, so there is no way it could be locked. I think this error is because I'm copying everything under the database directory from the master to the slave, and that includes the lock files. The replication documents just say to freeze the master and then 'Copy the database to the slave location', I think they need to be more explicit about exactly what files need to be copied from the master to the slave.
