Hi Mike, Thanks a lot, where would this lock information go and also How do I set the lock timeout?

Well, the lock isn't really important at all for typical Solr operation. It is recommended to use <lockType>simple</lockType> (1.3) which avoids FS locks. Otherwise, I would set <mainIndex><unlockOnStartup>true</unlockOnStartup></mainIndex> and not worry about it. -Mike
