SOLVED Database is locked

[lmi_securiview]

Hello,

I have a problem with my storage server, that is using an old freenas version (FreeNAS-9.3-CURRENT-201503160630).
About a month ago I was forced to disable periodic snapshot tasks because of very low disk space.
Now that I have deleted useless data, I tried to (re)enable snapshots. But I cannot enable, delete or create a new task, because of an error "Database is locked".

This storage server is the main for an ESXi with a lot of VM. I cannot restart it without a production stop.
The next update window should be for this summer. Meanwhile I must enable these snapshots.

Is there a solution to unlock the database, maybe restart a service without production stop?

Thanks a lot for your help :)

That error typically indicates that the boot device is failing. Does a freshi nstall of the same version to a new boot device resolve the error?

Freenas should warn me if a disk (even system) is failling, right?

Does a freshi nstall of the same version to a new boot device resolve the error?

There is another storage bay using the same version without error.

Smart tests typically aren't run on the boot device (so no warning).

The same version running on another system won't help you if the boot device is failing

Do you know where I can get a list of FreeNas CLI commands?
I would like to update snaphshot tasks manually and run a S.M.A.R.T test on boot devices.

Problem solved!
To unlock the database, I had to restart web services: no production stop, no reboot

Code:

service nginx restart
service django restart
