I was attempting to measure the effect of compression with "time cvs -z3 co project" but this command did not return - it hung after extracting all the files.
I experimented a little further with: Client$ cvs -t co project ..blah blah... S-> unlink_file(CVS/Entries.Log) -> rename(CVS/Entries.Backup,CVS/Entries) -> unlink(CVS/Entries.Log) cvs checkout: dying gasps from atids-server unexpected That is, without compression, client does not hang. Then: Client$ cvs -t -z3 co project ..blah blah... S-> unlink_file(CVS/Entries.Log) -> rename(CVS/Entries.Backup,CVS/Entries) -> unlink(CVS/Entries.Log) <hangs> When I run this on the server, this command works OK.... Server$ cvs -t -z3 co project ..blah blah... -> unlink_file(CVS/Tag) -> rename(CVS/Entries.Backup,CVS/Entries) -> unlink_file(CVS/Entries.Log) cvs checkout: dying gasps from atids-server unexpected -> Lock_Cleanup() Two questions: 1) Is the "dying gasps from atids-server unexpected" normal output? It sounds bad. 2) Any idea why the '-z3' option would cause a hang on the client? It appears to be the Lock_Cleanup() function?
