We are moving our repository from Solaris to Linux. I took a checkpoint
of our database files and I tried restoring those checkpoint files:
$ p4d -V

$p4d -r $PWD -jr checkpoint.80
Perforce server error:
Database open error on db.counters!
dbopen: db.counters: No locks available

I tried these files using a Solaris server, and had no problems. I even
tried just running p4d (without the license or the journal), and got the
same error. These commands do work on the Solaris server. I can also run
p4v and p4 on the linux server without any problem. Is there something I
should know about Linux that may prevent it from being a perforce
server?
