: There is now a data/index with a write lock file in it. I have not : attempted to read the index, let alone add something to it. : I start solr again, and it cannot open the index because of the write lock.
Lance, i can't reproduce using trunk r1033664 on Linux w/ext4 -- what OS & Filesystem are you using? If you load "http://localhost:8983/solr/admin/stats.jsp"; what does it list for the "reader" and "readerDir" in the "searcher" entry? : Why is there a write lock file when I have not tried to index anything? No idea ... i don't get any write locks until i actually attempt to index something. -Hoss
