Mike, I see what you mean by the problem when checking out a large number of files with the message of "cvs [export aborted]: cannot rename file." I have the same problem after building 1.11.1p1 under OpenVMS 7.2-1. There is the work around of repeating the command until everything is checked out but that takes extra time. In testing this I did a checkout of a path that contains about 2,800 files. There is definitely a pattern when it fails. After it fails I used a "DIR [.path....]*.*;/grand" to gather some stats. Keep in mind that the counts include all the [.CVS] directories and their contents. Directories Files Increase 18 318 <-- this may not have been the first set 18 555 237 46 880 325 60 1166 285 60 1403 237 60 1639 236 66 1893 254 70 2147 254 88 2442 295 102 2725 283 102 2964 239 128 3232 268 When the number of directories did not increase about 236 or 237 were processed. I am wondering if there might be some limit on the number of files that is causing checkout to stop. I just tested the cvs export and got the following: cvs [export aborted]: cannot rename file ./fc05_hgi_get_dist.for_new_ to ./fc05_hgi_get_dist.for: no such device or address DIPSD->dir [.alpha...]*.*;* /grand Grand total of 3 directories, 238 files. It also stopped. It also fits the pattern! Have you also seen this on the import and checkin commands? Was this the same with prior versions?
