Hi,
I've successfully been using Xapian and I am facing a new problem today : my
database is locked !
I guess it happened when one of my scriptindex process was killed by mistake
...
I did not find in the list archive any way to unlock it whether by hand or
with a script.
Someone has ever faced and fixed this issue ?
I am under Linux (RH FC3) with last version of Xapian.
Regards

Updates are atomic, so the database will still be in a consistent state. The still-under-development Flint backend uses fcntl() for locking, so locks are automatically released if the process holding them dies. Cheers, Olly
