Michael, In the past (no longer), I've used or attempted to used RCS and CVS with both AFS and DFS. (I admined AFS for over 6 years, DFS for 2 years). I would avoid the AFS/CVS combination for the following reasons: - AFS (unlike DFS) does not support any sort file locking in the "normal" (POSIX) manner. Even if you enable the "k" ACL on the directory! - It is not trivial to properly set up AFS ACLs so that you get the correct permissions and access by all parties using the CVS repository. It may not be possible! - Many users of AFS get very confused by the difference between RO and RW volumes. Typically, this is done with mount points. This is usually differentiated by using /afs/.iil instead of /afs/ill. I would be absolutely sure that your CVS repository does not sit in any replicated volumes. If so, make sure you're accessing the RW copy. - The recursion you're seeing "smells" like a backup volume somewhere. Depending upon where the backup volume is mounted, this could cause some interesting problems. Some of what your seeing could be more effectively diagnosed by adding the global CVS option -v. Bottom line, I would follow the advice of the other person that replied. Use CVS in client/server mode or use a remote filesystem that can handle the POSIX functionality upon which CVS depends, like DFS or NFS (w/ the lock manager). Michael S.
