What is causing this post-commit error "database is locked" when I perform SVN commits?

I have a Ubuntu machine acting as a subversion server via an svnserve daemon (as root) in my private network. The svnserve daemon reads from a mounted SMB share that is on our raid setup. I can access the server from my various SVN clients just fine. I can also commit changes without problem, except that after each commit, I get the following error:

post-commit FS processing had error 'database is locked'.

Commits succeed, so I can use the system, but this error is annoying and troubling. I've tried seaching for a solution and not had much luck.

Is anyone able to help me fix this error?

(1) Are you using the same subversion version on both server & client? (2) Are server & client very far geographically? (3) Is it possible that another long commit is in progress? – harrymc – 2013-05-07T14:20:14.263

Does running svn cleanup help? – snapshoe – 2013-05-14T01:41:22.730
