Justin, Over the years there have been MANY problems using mixed NFS implementations, and in some cases just certain implementations in conjunction with CVS. I remembered your note above after reading a caution from one of the principal CVS developers this morning: --------------- The correct question is this: "Is it ever acceptable that a 'cvs commit' may corrupt the repository without any notification of any problems whatsoever until much time has passed and there is a need to checkout an old version of the repository that is found to be corrupted due to earlier NFS usage?" If the answer is: "We do not care about old versions or if they might happen to be corrupt.", then by all means feel free to use NFS to do the checkouts. If the answer is: "Correctness is more important than speed." then just say no to using the NFS approach. ------------------ Regards, Mike Klinke -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
