   Two months ago, I installed CAP+ and UAB+ on a SUN 4.0.3.  We were all
quite happy that it worked, and we moved tons of files from the little
file server onto the SUN.  During this time, it has performed flawlessly,
until the last couple of days.
   Whenever something is copied to or from the AUFS volume, we get a
message that "The file "xxx..." cannot be opened/printed (file/folder is
locked)."  Why is this happening?  On the Unix side, I can create files in
those directories, delete them, etc., so this does not really seem to be a
disk problem.  I only have 4 or 5 files on my volume, and I haven't
changed anything since the last time it worked.  There are only 6 people
who use AUFS (the limit in the log file says it is 10).  I have checked
the log file for strange things, but I haven't found any, yet.  (Oops!
Forgot about that log file for 2 months.  It's a little large.  Restarting
with a zero length log file does not change anything.)
   /etc/start-cap-servers has been in rc.local for a long time, and
everything seems to start up and work just fine until someone tries to get
something from a volume or put it on a volume.
   Any nifty explanations would be great!  Better yet, how can I fix it?!!
Thanks.
