### Please describe the problem. After successfully adding tags to files, I'm unable to view them. I paste the input and output to reproduce the problem below. ### What steps will reproduce the problem? $ git annex init init Detected a filesystem without fifo support. Disabling ssh connection caching. Detected a crippled filesystem. (scanning for unlocked files...) Entering an adjusted branch where files are unlocked as this filesystem does not support locked files. Switched to branch 'adjusted/master(unlocked)' ok (recording state in git...) $ touch test-file.txt $ git annex add . add test-file.txt ok (recording state in git...) $ git commit -a -m "Adds a file." warning: LF will be replaced by CRLF in test-file.txt. The file will have its original line endings in your working directory [adjusted/master(unlocked) b19bcbb] Adds a file. 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) create mode 100644 test-file.txt $ git annex metadata test-file.txt -t a -t b -t c metadata test-file.txt lastchanged=2021-03-17@18-31-54 tag=a tag=b tag=c tag-lastchanged=2021-03-17@18-31-54 ok (recording state in git...) $ git annex view tag=* view (searching...) fatal: Unable to create 'D:\test-dir\.git\annex\viewindex.lock': File exists. Another git process seems to be running in this repository, e.g. an editor opened by 'git commit'. Please make sure all processes are terminated then try again. If it still fails, a git process may have crashed in this repository earlier: remove the file manually to continue. git-annex: failed to read sha from git write-tree CallStack (from HasCallStack): error, called at .\Git\Sha.hs:23:15 in main:Git.Sha failed git-annex: view: 1 failed ### What version of git-annex are you using?

I finally sat down and started backing up my data on different drives and git annex is about the perfect solution. Or at least it does everything I want it to (especially if the above tagging issue can be resolved). I've even thought about writing little cli apps over it, like an ejournal or recipe organizer. > [[fixed|done]] already some time ago --[[Joey]]
