Swinstall or Swremove Fails With a Lock Error
Swinstall or swremove fails with the following message:
Cannot lock “/” because another command holds a conflicting
lock. The process id of that command is ####.
Resolution Another SD command is running that prevents the swinstall or
swremove command from running. Wait for that command to finish and
try again.
