Hello

when running "rdiff-backup-delete" an error message pops up:
fail to acquired repository lock. A backup may be running.

However, there is no other backup, neither
rdiff-backup nor rdiff-backup-delete.

Trying to indentify a LOCK file, for example by

find /mnt/uSbdisk/FOLDER/rdiff-backup-data -iname "*lock* | grep -vi 'block'
does not show me a LOCK file.

How to drop the mysterious LOCK file?

Best regards
Dieter
