Maintaining the repository on my local disk and doing backups via batch file is an option. I just don't understand why I should have to do it this way. This is where I think the cvs repository on a network share is ideal. However, I cannot figure out why it fails on the few files that it does fail on. On some files, it hangs CVS.exe such that I cannot stop it from task manager and have to reboot the machine. If I connect to the drive, it will work okay. Strange!

As I understand it the only reason you want to use the network share is to ensure your repository gets backed up. How about just storing your repository on a local disk and using a simple batch file to make a copy of it to your network drive when you connect to the network (and at every evening if while you remain connected). This way the CVSNT server is not using the network share so should work without any problems but you still have the security of having a copy of your work on the network. > -----Original Message----- > From: Luckey, Dave [mailto:dave.luckey at lmco.com] > Sent: 03 December 2004 17:55 > To: cvsnt at cvsnt.org cvsnt downloads at march-hare.com @CVSNT on Twitter CVSNT on Facebook > Subject: [cvsnt] Alternative to Network Shares? > > > I know that Network Shares are frowned upon, in fact, any who > bring the subject up get flamed before the e-mail bits have > stopped flowing to the reader.
