Yes that is the best advice. Whilst Larry's suggestions are good, I would also like to point out that if your repository becomes corrupt that: A) you may not know of the corruption unless you are looking/testing for it B) there are no failsafe automated tools for testing the integrity of CVS repositories C) once a repository is corrupt, there is little chance to rescue the data short of restoring a backup D) no-one will sympathise with your predicament since the repository is stored on a network share (NFS or SAMBA) With the prevalence and low cost of iSCSI SAN alternatives I do not think that there is any reason to use NFS/SAMBA/Network Shares for a CVS repository today (if indeed there ever was).
