I have figured out that it does stand for "File Unlock".  There are lots of 
mentions of it when I do a search where it shows it in use in code examples.  
What I have not been able to find is a solid definition of it.  I get this 
error about 150 times a day.

One thing I did notice though.  The error always references the same number.

07/10/2003 10:37:33 V1 S:taz C:? J:0 (U:0,0) Error(0x10) General(0x2) bpdbm 
unlock 2130640639 F_UNLCK failed

I'm thinking that I may go at this a different way and see if I can find what 
the "2130640639" number is referring to and research it from that direction.  
It could be just a simple case of the file permissions getting screwed up or 
something and they just need to be reset.

Marcus,

I am guessing here, but is this the situation where you would use the 
LOCKED_FILE_ACTION=SKIP directive in your bp.conf ?

We have Essbase in our shop and it will lock files ( a lower case l (ell)  will 
be present when viewing the permissions on a particular file ); the man page 
refers to it as "mandatory locking" on a
SUN server; before we specified this, our backup would hang and not complete; I 
am guessing that F_UNLCK is File_UNLoCK. Am I close ? Do you have files that 
are locked ?

Sorry if this is off base .....

john

Anyone know any information about the error "F_UNLCK failed"?   I asked about 
it once before with no reply and I looked through the archives for this group.  
Two other people have asked about it as
well with no reply.   Does anyone have any info about what the "F_UNLCK failed" 
error is?
