.lock files leftover

[apmuthu]

In the /etc/qemu-server folder, after a while, a number of .lock* files get left over. Can they be safely deleted?

Why do you want to delete them?

 

[apmuthu]

As they are in the same folder as the important conf files, and also they are 0 byte files - they can quickly cause a clutter when many containers are created, tested and destroyed. Actually the program that creates them should delete them when their purpose is over.

I will create those lock files in /var/lock/qemu-server/ in the next release.
