I am getting a very strange error when BOINC attempts to upload a result:
Mon 31 Oct 2022 04:54:56 PM | TN-Grid Platform | Started upload of 220142_Hs_T152454-C5orf47_wu-196_1667191226793_0_0

Looking at the uploaded size, it seems to have uploaded "successfully" (5.97/5.79 KB), except that something must gone wrong afterwards. I am not an expert, but some server process must be holding on to the lock on the file. This appears to be when the problem occurred:

BOINC has managed to successfully upload a number of results since then.
The time stamps are EDT. Let me know if I can provide more information.

I came here to report exactly the same thing. I have one file that won't upload with this
Error reported by file upload server: can't lock file /storage/boinc/upload//374/220099_Hs_T177967-C7orf62_wu-234_1667147726296_0_0
error, but all other uploads are okay. I first noticed the error about 18 hours ago, and it has been repeated a number of times since then as BOINC retries the upload.
Since everything else is uploading okay, it looks like there was some transient problem.
Is there any way to correct this, or is it best to abort the task and let someone else run it?
Thanks![/code]

I just tried aborting the task and that hasn't worked.
Hopefully, once the deadline passes, it will sort itself out.

That is probably related to our external file system (which has some problems), there is nothing I can do but try to delete zero size files (which I did right now). Sometimes it helps, sometimes no

It worked, thank you! Sorry for the bother, and I hope the file system problems get fixed soon.

No change for me, I'm still getting the same error.
But thanks, valterc, for trying!
