[rrd-users] Lock issue

[Andreas Maus]

Hello.

Is this file located on a NFS share ?
Usually this error occurs when accessing RRD files
located on a NFS mounted filesystem.

If it is coming from a NFS mounted filesystem you have
to talk to your administrator to fix the NFS locking.

HTH,

Andreas.
