Hello!

psql -c vacuum

NOTICE: LockRelease: locktable lookup failed, no lock
ERROR: Can't create lock file. Is another vacuum cleaner running?
If not, you may remove the pg_vlock file in the
/usr/local/pgsql/data/base/chili
directory

Whats about this?
We are using Suse Linux 7.3 with postgres 6.5.3.

I cannot see a file named pg_vlock in that directory!

I will thankful appreciate every hint!
