We have CVSNT 2.0.8 running on W2k Pro (but the same problem was seen with the earlier 1.x version). After issuing the command cvs -d :sspi:<repository> ls -R -r some_tag some_module we get error reports like the following cvs server: cannot open c:/repository/pathname/file: Too many open files and finally cvs [server aborted]: read lock failed - giving up This seems to depend on the some_module specified. The failing module (an ampersand module) has received a large number of committed files but most of the failing files are associated with directories that are now empty of files, having been removed to the attic. I'm considering checking out the latest version of this module, renaming it using the modules file and then recommitting the latest files to a new module. This isn't really desirable. Has anyone got any ideas about this? regards /df
