Steps for a local reproducer are as follows: Create fabric, 6.3.0 R7, host name = "host1" with ssh containers "sshhost2" and "sshhost3", user/password for host1=admin/admin start reproducer (attached reproducer-single.sh), please adjust FUSE_HOME variable to your env open karaf client in local, issue command "watch profile-display test1" open another karaf client in local, issue command "watch container-list" While reproducing is sending karaf commands (You see "setting value...), you may Ctrl+c the "watch container-list" command, and there should appear a "Git read lock" error on local log The steps to reproduce it on customer env were: Log into the container and start a "watch" command that would hit the datastore, like "container-info" Log into the container from a new session and run another watch command that involves the git datastore Now, try to perform some profile edits or profile creation commands from a third session When we did this, we started seeing the read lock / write lock errors.
