[Glass] Request for MFC gclock by session 15 denied, reason: vote state is voting, waiting for promote dead

[John McIntosh]

Was trying to setup a backup/cleanup script...
Say

# do backup
topaz -l -T 50000 << EOF
set gemstone seaside
set username DataCurator
login
xxxxxxxxxxx
output push backup.out
errorCount
send SystemRepository markForCollection
send SystemRepository objectAudit
send SystemRepository startNewLog
run
SystemRepository fullBackupCompressedTo:
 '/opt/gemstone/backups/backup-' ,
 (DateTime now asSeconds // 60) printString.
%
logout
errorCount
exit
EOF
# cleanup backups

But usually this results in:

For a while now I've had

STN_EPOCH_GC_ENABLED = TRUE;


However I set that to false and restarted the stone and still end usually
with the same problem.

Clues are welcome
