In what situations can a WR lock be held on a group and not released ? (UV10.0.16 HP-UX 11i) We've had this situation in one of our test (fortunately) accounts and can't explain it. All users got stuck waiting for the group lock to be released - we couldn't even LIST or COUNT the file.
Active Group Locks: Record Group Group Group Device.... Inode.... Netnode Userno Lmode G-Address. Locks ...RD ...SH ...EX 1073807361 90021 0 31 7 IN 1 5 0 0 0 1073807361 10483 0 73 19 IN 800 2 0 0 0 1073807361 52985 0 73 24 WR 0 0 0 0 0 I would also have thought that there would have been a number in the Group EX column. We had to log out the user with a kill -9 and unlock their locks as a kill -15 had no effect. The file in question is dynamic, with a modulus of 1 and only had 1 record in it (mildly overflowed). I have read Martin Phillips' explanation of group locks, and favour his technical suggestion that in this situation "your system is stuffed". The notes for the Internals course don't help either.
