| 33 | === Administrative list-resources blocks other FOAM operations === |
| 34 | |
| 35 | In FOAM 0.6, an administrative list-resources call lockes the FOAM database, and thus blocks other FOAM operations. If an experimenter tries to use FOAM while this is happening, they'll get a "database is locked" error; if they retry, it should work. (If the error persists, something else is probably wrong.) |
| 36 | |
| 37 | The FOAM monitoring code (from the 'tango-monitor-foam' package) does an administrative list-slivers whenever it runs, and it runs once per minute by default, so there's small window each minute (a second or two) when this can happen. |

| 39 | This issue is being tracked in [https://openflow.stanford.edu/bugs/browse/FOAM-227 JIRA ticket FOAM-227], and should be fixed in FOAM 0.8. |
