Running this issue now, can't seem to find a lot of documentation about this. How can I unlock the LOCK file? Thanks

LevelDB can only be opened by one process at a time. When that process closes the db, the lock is released.

@vweevers Come to think of it, maybe we should put together a FAQ for level?
