   I got error while launch bitcoin core 23.0 on macos after I set data loction on my remote NAS, Error: Cannot obtain a lock on data directory /Volumes/Bitcoin Core Data. Bitcoin Core is probably already running.

   It’s still error after I reinstall. And I can not find setting file at ~/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin/

   I doubt such a setup is supported.

   Try to remove the .lock file from your data directory.

   If the problem still persists, it is related to macOS’s fctnl() implementation, not to Bitcoin Core code.

   Going to close this issue.
