If your /tmp is on a memory-based filesystem like mfs or tmpfs, then yes. If it's just a regular disk-based filesystem, probably not. > 2) Could switching LockDir so that lock files are written to the local > /tmp increase load on the local machine and increase our problem, since > that's where our problems lie? That's unlikely; writing to a memory-based filesystem shouldn't cause any more load than writing to an NFS filesystem. > 3) Or, would it be feasble to have LockDir point to a file across NFS, > but outside of the repository?

In any event, that would only help if the problem were disk contention on the NFS server, which it isn't. -Larry Jones Let's just sit here a moment... and savor the impending terror. -- Calvin _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
