Could not lock the repository

[janole]

Hi

When we try to commit changes, the message "Could not lock the repository" pops up.

I have never seen this message before.

Using vault client in CVS mode, version 4.05
Vault server 4.05


What can I do to fix this problem?

regards
Jan Ole

Are you receiving this with the Vault GUI client or with the IDE integration between Vault and Visual Studio?

From the Vault GUI Client.

Dump of message log:

After som digging, it turned out that the transaction log in MSSQL was full.
Clearing the transaction log solved the problem.
