Error when using multiple threads to import/get data from reposity

Hi,
I am getting
ERROR: unexpected error - unable to open database file
error whenever I try to import/get/pull from a remote. This happens only after a couple of files get already transferred. So I tried the “-j 1” and now all works. This looks to me that maybe the multiple threads fight for database access and depending on timing it fails ? Not 100% sure.

All I can say that in the failure case I can see the database in question and it has all the right permissions. And as I mentioned it does not fail immediately but only after transferring some data.

I tried it with 2 different remotes and get the same result.
Btw a “dvc checkout” from a shared cache works just fine.
