Hello,
we have the follwing problem with Eclipse 3.2.1
Eclipse is running on fedora core 5. We tried to create the workspace on
a NFS mounted drive (located on a windows server 2003 with services for
unix
3.5). While creating the workspace the following error occures:
Workspace in use or cannot be created, please choose a different one.
In the log file we can see the following:
!ENTRY org.eclipse.osgi 4 0 2006-10-11 15:21:00.259
!MESSAGE Error reading configuration: An error occurred while locking file
" /zfznv/users_nas2/install/.eclipse/org.eclipse.platform_3.2. 0/configuration/org.eclipse.osgi/.manager/.fileTableLock ":
"No locks available". A common reason is that the file system or Runtime
Environment does not support file locking for that location. Please choose
a
different location, or disable file locking passing "-Dosgi.locking=none"
as a
VM argument.
!STACK 0
java.io.IOException: An error occurred while locking file
" /zfznv/users_nas2/install/.eclipse/org.eclipse.platform_3.2. 0/configuration/org.eclipse.osgi/.manager/.fileTableLock ":
"No locks available". A common reason is that the file system or Runtime
Environment does not support file locking for that location. Please choose
a
different location, or disable file locking passing "-Dosgi.locking=none"
as a
VM argument.
Does anybody has a idea what could be the problem? Creating the workspace
on
the local drive works fine.
Thanks for your help.
Kind regards,
Andreas Schuler

quite a strange set-up. Why do you want to create your workspace on the
net? You are going to have a (performance) penalty for doing so.

The error message is clear about where the problem lies... Eclipse tries
to lock a file for exclusive use, so nobody else works with the same
workspace at the same time.

The diagnose "does not support file locking" tells you that it cannot
lock the file because the (remote) file system does not support this action.

You are using the wrong tool. You need a file system that supports file
locking. Typically local file system support this. For remote file
systems like NFS it's not so common. From a previous life in the Unix
world I think I remember that you need a "lock daemon" running on the
server to get the service for locking files.
Your options:
* use a local file system
* use a NFS file system on a real Unix system
* try to configure a lock daemon on the server
