[Toaster] Weird migration issue

[Michael Wood]

Yes I briefly looked into this, and I think it has to do with a memory 
mapping issue. If the database is not closed before trying to run 
database migrate we get into a weird state where there is a transaction 
in memory that can't be completed as the database has been deleted.

This then blocks creating the database until it's gone from memory, the 
only way to do this is seemingly to reboot or use a different location 
on the filesystem for Toaster ...which is kind of worrying, we should 
probably open a django bug about this.

To avoid this make sure that toaster/bitbake is fully stopped before 
running migrate/touching the database file.
