Hi

What environment are you running in? What version of Alfresco?
What else is using lucene?

Have you got two repositories running pointing at the same index?

Lucene should be configured not to use lock files within Alfresco. The error you see is known in older versions of lucene when previous partially written segment files are reused without clearing them out correctly. We have a work around for this in earlier releases.

I would guess you have lucene configuration issues from somewhere (so it is taking file locking settings from elsewhere) and have lucene in the class path before Alfresco so you do not see our fix ups here. This depends on the version of Alfresco.

Check you configuration and rebuild the indexes.

Hi

Remove the indexes before you rebuild. (Or the invalid segment will be used for the next index change and you will see the error above)
