You can also override file system locks.

    2. In the List scope section, under Compartment, select a compartment.

    3. In the list of file systems, click the name of the file system that you want to unlock.
    4. On the file system's details page, next to Resource Locking, select Remove.

  • Use the oci fs file-system remove command and required parameters to unlock a file system:

    oci fs file-system remove --file-system-id <file_system_OCID> --type <lock_type>

    For a complete list of parameters and values for CLI commands, see the CLI Command Reference.
