Please use below step to resolve the disk lock issue.

Checked the snapshot manager if its showing any snapshot. If yes, try to delete the snapshot. Verified the same from Esxi cli to identify whether it has delta files are located on all or some of the disks.

Checked the consistency of the. Disk consistency can also be checked from below command. VMDK files. Verified by using touch command to VMDK " touch abcdefgh. If unable to find any snapshot available from the output but in actual there are snapshot on the VM.

This should succeed. To determine the cause of the previously locked file, review the VMkernel, hostd, and vpxa log files and attempt to determine:. Error : Failed to get exclusive lock on the configuration file, another VM process could be running, using this configuration file. Solution : This issue may occur if there is a lack of disk space on the root drive. The ESX host is unable start a virtual machine because there is insufficient disk space to commit changes. In certain circumstances, these locks may not be released when the virtual machine is powered off.

The files cannot be accessed by the servers while locked, and the virtual machine is unable to power on. To work around this issue, run the vmfsfilelockinfo script from the host experiencing difficulties with one or more locked files:. Note : During the life-cycle of a powered on virtual machine, several of its files transitions between various legitimate lock states.

The lock state mode indicates the type of lock that is on the file. This shows that the file is locked by a virtual machine having Cartel ID The current solution is to split the single task into apt-update, wait-for lockfile, apt-upgrade Our Docker instances don't have the same issue. I hate that I did this, but we added a pause statement before the APT code above.

Even waiting for the lock using while fuser didn't work for us. Two minutes later, I can run all the code and see no issues. We had a similar issue with Ansible package installs randomly and non-deterministically failing on Ubuntu We tried explicitly uninstalling the unattended-upgrades packages prior to Ansible being run, but that didn't seem to help.

Hi everyone! This is very annoying issue with Ubuntu. Playbooks which use apt simply very fragile. The problem with unnatended upgrades in ubuntu. But then I need to manage uppgrades when to do that. So I did not like the idea of turning it off. It seems to me that it is better to kill the current upgrade session then completely to turn it off. I also was thinking to add sudo killall apt apt-get before executing any apt operations, but also do not like it. Another option is to put retry. What I have noticed in many cases after minutes play book works one upgrade is completed.

So I will give it a try to a retry. Ideally, if Canonical could provide ability to stop upgrades on request in a proper manner. I'd like to have a command some like StopUpgradesFor 42 and it stops upgrades for 42 minutes and then in 42 minutes it starts upgrades again if nobody called StopUpgradesFor again. Here is what I ended up coming up with that seems to handle all of the edge cases.

Some of this is borrowed from others in this issue, some from other attempts to solve this problem I found in my travels:.

My problem is that I use ansible to configure ubuntu machines at home. All works fine except this annoying issue. I do not wanna turn it off. I also have problems with Virtualbox VMs, I also run playbooks against them. What happens is that I start VM based on some old snapshot and then it starts updating.

So you need to wait a lot of time to make this happen. Same issue here as described by author. Using the following in my playbook to run against a barebon ubuntu It crashes at "Step
