Useful Unix command: fuser -u <<Unix_filename>>
It lists the PIDs of any processes which have the physical file open. Something I see from time to time is file indices getting "Out of step" or "self-disabling". The most common cause is building the index while the file is in use. I don't know whether a package which gives Unix commands on Windows (such as "cygwin" or MKS Toolkit) gives you this, but http://www.sysinternals.com is very useful (thanks to all the contributors there). Supplementary Note: Yes - there are occasions when you may want to build an index on a file translate, and (with care) this is perfectly useable. I do still see instances though of indices being built in file translates and volatile data. Not many granted - but some....
