Thomas Mueller commented on JCR-1605:
-------------------------------------
Two weeks ago, we ran out of disk space on an NFS 4 system. After rebooting, we
could not start the repository because NFS wrongly reported the .lock file is
locked. We had to manually delete .lock file.
> RepositoryLock does not work on NFS sometimes

> Key: JCR-1605
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-1605
> Project: Jackrabbit Content Repository
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: jackrabbit-core
> Reporter: Thomas Mueller
> Assignee: Thomas Mueller
> Priority: Minor
>
> The RepositoryLock mechanism currently used in Jackrabbit uses FileLock. This
> doesn't work on some NFS file system. It looks like only NFS version 4 and
> newer supports locking. Older implementations may throw a IOException "No
> locks available", which means the NFS does not support byte-range locking.
> I propose to add a second locking mechanism, and add a configuration option
> to use it. For example: <FileLocking class="acme" />. This second locking
> mechanism is a cooperative locking protocol that uses a background (watchdog)
> thread and only uses regular file operations.
