Looks like this is known issue. Martin Pool wrote on 2007-04-23 in https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/+bug/108605: "This error is occurring because we're trying to take an os-level file lock, and this sometimes doesn't work on nfs setups. You should be able to avoid this for now by making sure the nfs lockd is running on your server (which is probably a good idea anyhow); we will try to remove the dependency in a future release." So, please, try do that ^^ Also this problem was discussed here: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/bazaar/2006q1/009599.html Thank you for the tip. I enabled lockd on my NFS server, and now BZR seems to be working. ... still, it would be nice if BZR spit out a warning message rather than just hanging.

Robert Collins in above mentioned bug report: "We have an experimental format which won't need OSLocks, we will need testing on it on NFS, but its not quite there yet - it needs some more peer review and tradeoff examinations." So upstream will fix it in the near future. As developing an own patch is not worth the work, I close this bug as UPSTREAM. Scream, if you disagree. |
