Unable to start litd, "timed out after 5s when trying to obtain exclusive lock"

See original GitHub issue

Expected behavior litd should start

Actual behavior

litd fails to start and produces this message: error while trying to open /home/[redacted]/.pool/mainnet/pool.db: timed out after 5s when trying to obtain exclusive lock - make sure no other pool daemon process (standalone or embedded in lightning-terminal) is running 2021-12-16 11:18:04.069 [INF] SGNL: Shutting down...

There is no other pool process running.

This has happened before and I just rm -rf’d the .pool folder since I wasn’t using pool, but I just started using pool this week and have deposited some money into an account. I’m worried that if I use that method again I might lose access to my funds.

Any idea what’s going on?
