Open Stack

Salman,

The location for the locks is determined by the --lock_path setting in
nova.conf.  This is apparently set to the base path where the nova
python code lives ($pybasedir) in devstack:

2012-04-14 21:35:42 DEBUG nova.service [-] lock_path : /opt/stack/nova
from (pid=3700) wait /opt/stack/nova/nova/service.py:442

Since, that directory has a bunch of important files in it, certainly
don't follow my previous advice and remove all the files in that
directory.  There is a bug
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/785955) about nova not cleaning
up locks that should have been fixed in essex-4.  As part of the fix
to that Mike Pittaro wrote a cleanup locks script that should be in
/opt/stack/nova/tools/clean_file_locks.py.  Try running that and let
us know if that fixed it.  If not look for *.lock files in
/opt/stack/nova

Thanks,

Nate
