2879.0. "FCS and locked drawers - OAFC$SERVER_ERROR.log" by ZUR01::TOLBA () Thu Jun 17 1993 16:44

Hello,


A customer is getting in his OAFC$SERVER_ERROR.LOG such messages:


The lock on the following drawer has become invalidated by another
process.  Note that the lock has been granted and OafcNormal will be 
returned to the client, however, all other processes wishing to share
this lock will also be granted invalid locks until all processes
sharing this lock are terminated.

Drawer directory: USER7:[SCHNEIDER.A1]S
Drawer Owner: SCHNEIDER


Could someone please give me a hint what processes can cause such 
a lock?


Thanks and regards,
Manuela

2879.1Abnormal ALL-IN-1 exitCHRLIE::HUSTONThu Jun 17 1993 19:0318
    
    I answered this someplace around here, but can't find it.
    
    It is basically caused by the FCS and IOS trying to cooperate, via
    the VMS lock manager. What happens is that someone is in IOS and
    has a drawer locked, they then exit ALL-IN-1 via an abnormal method, 
    like cntrl-y, access violation, etc.  for some reason or another
    the image did not get completely shutdown. When the FCS goes to
    check the lock block, something bad happened.
    
    The error is safe, and no problems will occur. A re-boot will fix it.
    
    This is the only scenario I have ever seen this happen in. Not saying
    there aren't others, but this is the only way we have ever seen 
    it happen.
