Re: BerkeleyDB locks

It is possible to do your own locking, with MLDBM::Sync. However, performance will be much worse than letting BerkeleyDB do it. Have you tried to recover it using the db_recover tool they supply? That normally fixes any leftover lock issues.

it should clear the locks, but all processes will have to stop accessing the db while the recover tool is run, which may not be possible...	[reply]

When you have a crash and something gets corrupted, you have to stop and recover from it. I don't think there's any way to avoid that.	[reply]
