The website was originally setup in 7.5.11 by a previous developer and as far as I'm aware the website didn't used to go down. However there is a lot of publish and saving going on recently due to rebranding.
Our deployment process is to remove the folder and deploy a fresh website each time which may be why the shared location was set up. Maybe the index folder needs wiping and trying again?
Personally, I've had no experience with load balanced Umbraco sites yet. However, if you've not seen it there is a detailed help page regarding how to configure your site for a load balanced environment.
I had a quick skim over it and I couldn't find anything that refers to a shared drive for your lucene indexes and I have a feeling I've seen people trying to do that before and it fails due to access.
Heres the link to docs, I'm hoping they will help you :-)
Thanks for the guide I'll comb through that to make sure we've set it up properly and if I can't find a better reason why the folder is shared I'll split it back up to per site.
Can you share index folder across load balanced websites
Hi,
Version 7.11.0.
Having an issue where our load balanced websites go down and the following error keeps coming up.
Lucene.Net.Store.LockObtainFailedException: Lock obtain timed out: SimpleFSLock@{SharedLocation}\App_Data\TEMP\ExamineIndexes\External\Index\write.lock

Bump - Anyone have an opinion on this?
