In my experience this was not the case - but I would have to recheck that. I am pretty sure that I killed all cvs.exe's and hanging locks remained. The persistent hanging lock thing has been a problem with windows that I have experienced before with other products. The server for my company's accounting system has been known to do it in the past, and we have accomplished much the same thing with visual studio across a file share a time or two... keith d. zimmerman, mcsd eagle solutions -----Original Message----- From: Bo Berglund [mailto:Bo.Berglund at system3r.se] Sent: Thursday, February 13, 2003 10:52 AM To: Dwayne Miller; cvsnt at cvsnt.org Subject: RE: [cvsnt] Cannot rename file error This indicates a hung cvs.exe process in the server. It locks the file. Open up Task manager and look there for cvs.exe. There should normally be none visible because they are very transient in nature. But if you see one you have to kill it. Unfortunately this cannot be done from Task Manager, so you have to drop down to the command prompt and issue the 'kill cvs.exe' command, provided you have access to the kill command that came with an NT resource pack a while back. If you don't then SysInternals have a set of tools that includes an improved kill utility. These tools are free. I have set up a scheduled task that runs once each night at 4 AM and kills all cvs.exe that live then. No more problems. We had a few of those before when we were on 1.10.8, they all vanished with the schedule. Bo -----Original Message----- From: Dwayne Miller [mailto:dmiller at espgroup.net] Sent: den 13 februari 2003 16:21 To: cvsnt at cvsnt.org Subject: [cvsnt] Cannot rename file error We recently migrated our repository from an NT4 server to a Win2k server. In the process, we upgraded CVSNT to build 68. All of that might be unrelated, but provided just in case. For a single file, all users are getting a message when trying to commit a change: cvs [server aborted]: cannot rename file d:/cvs/pmp-docs/,sysTools_Readme.txt, to d:/cvs/pmp-docs/sysTools_Readme.txt,v: Permission denied All other operations on other files seem normal. I believe this started when cvs 'hung' when I was trying to check in this file. We are all using the WinCVS client, using the ntserver protocol. I cannot find a file named d:/cvs/pmp-docs/,sysTools_Readme.txt. But the file d:/cvs/pmp-docs/sysTools_Readme.txt,v does exist. It's read-only attribute is unset, whereas all other files in that directory are set to read-only. I've looked in the WINNT\Temp directory and see several CVS related directories and a few .tmp files, some of which are owned by me and have the contents of the file I'm trying to check in. But I'm not sure what to do with any of them to fix the problem. On an unrelated note, we are also seeing a new message when updating an entire directory: cvs server: cannot open directory . for empty check: No such file or directory Any help would be appreciated.
