No - the user's home directory is on the C: drive.
Just to re-cap:
1. the user has an iomega usb zip drive locally.
2. the local zip drive is assigned drive letter D:
3. the remote cvsroot has no prefix so it has a drive letter in its path --
:pserver:user at host:D:/cvsrepository
4. the drive letter on the remote path just happens to be the same drive
letter as the local zip drive.
5. from the command line type: cvs.exe -d
:pserver:user at host:D:/cvsrepository login
a. if the local zip drive has a disk (any disk) in the drive, everything
will work.
b. The 'missing disk' error happens when there is no disk in the Zip
drive.
Possible Solutions:
1. remove the zip drive
2. always keep a disk in the zip drive
3. change the drive letter mapping of the zip drive so it differs from the
cvsroot
4. remove the drive letter from the cvsroot (use prefix)
5. Change cvsnt so it does not try to access the local drive when the
cvsroot includes a drive letter.
others?
Thanks for your input.
