The system we are running mailman 3 on crashed, it filled the drive, and when it was restarted and the issue cleared I found that mailman3 will not start, it returns the following:

this is via starting as root with systemctl start mailman3, or as the user mailman using /opt/mailman/venv/bin/mailman start
This is probably due to a stale lock. See https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/-/issues/913.
Assuming mailman is not running, you need to remove Mailman's var/locks/*
Similar issues can occur if bin/mailman start is run as the mailman
user but has previously been run as root.
