Failed volume replications sometimes leave the volume locked. Volume
replication sometimes fails for a variety of reasons, usually transient
network timeouts or transient timeouts in the volserver. We've worked
around this for many years here; hopefully the multi-threaded volserver
will cause it to happen far less.
