Symptoms

  1. Confluence dashboard is not updated.
  2. Spaces and pages cannot be created.
  3. Removing space took a long time to finished
  4. All the above symptoms still occurs even after rebuilding the content indices from scratch.

This issue can also cause Confluence to fail to startup entirely, so if Hercules points you to this document and Confluence is completely locked up this could be your issue.

Diagnosis

The following appears in the atlassian-confluence.log:

Cause

Lucene fails to acquire a write lock a directory for writing its indices.  Also, it may caused by insufficient disk space. One of the contributors to this is scheduled daily backup, which can turn out to be large.

Workaround

Delete write.lock from <confluence-home>/index/. This issue is tracked here: CONF-22981. Also, check if your Confluence home directory has a sufficient disk space.
