Comment 4 for bug 1524007

Looks like we have a hard-coded timeout for that lock of 5 seconds.

Can you edit /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-pacakges/provisioningserver/config.py - on line ~549 there should be a line:

            with RunLock(path).wait(timeout=5.0):

Change that to something like 60 seconds to see if that fixes it:

            with RunLock(path).wait(timeout=60.0):
