Whoops! I stand corrected lol. I actually went looking for a restic show locks and list never crossed my mind. That’s what I get for just skimming the list of commands haha
And actually I’m showing something similar to what @sulfuror just mentioned. Out of morbid curiosity, I started a test backup. I then ran restic unlock while it was running. Everything in /repo/locks was cleared out. Everything. Stale locks, and also a lock that had a modified date within ~4m of the current time (my test backup). It was at this point I saw your reply, ran restic list locks and it actually listed a lock - even though /repo/locks was empty. I waited a few minutes, and something popped in to the locks folder. I ran ‘restic list locks’ again and there were TWO locks still listed.
EDIT: Moved the “restic removed an active lock” bit to my own thread.
Is this normal behavior or a bug? Does restic list locks use a lock of it’s own or something?
