locking file in the log file.

Caused by: java.io.IOException: An error occurred while locking file
"/home/roopam/eclipse/eclipse/configuration/org.eclipse.core
.runtime/.manager/.fileTableLock": "Invalid argument". A probably reason is
that the file system or Runtime Environment does not
support file locking. You may want to choose a different location, or
disable file locking (using the osgi.locking property), but
 this can cause data corruption.

Can anyone tell me how can it be solved?

Rgds,
