I am still using the plain old lxcisa0.informatik.tu-muenchen.de for
certain tasks

Recently, a problem emerged:

$ isabelle build -b Pure
*** [SQLITE_BUSY] The database file is locked (database is locked)

I am using rev c8d92d4ced73 and a minimal ~/.isabelle/etc/settings:

init_components
"${ISABELLE_COMPONENTS_BASE:-$USER_HOME/.isabelle/contrib}"
"$ISABELLE_HOME/Admin/components/main"

What is going wrong here? Maybe NFS makes problems.

Thanks for any hint,
Florian

Redirecting ISABELLE_HEAPS to /tmp/… helps.

Seems to be an issue with NFS.

Indeed, sqlite has some reputation to pose problems with network file
systems, or certain configurations of them.

Since there is a work-around, it is maybe not worth pursuing further.
