Community technical support mailing list was retired 2010 and replaced with a professional technical support team. For assistance please contact: Pre-sales Technical support via email to sales@march-hare.com.


I also tried this as the first real idea that I was given after I posted the
same problem weeks ago. The error message now disappeared. But I'm not
completely satisfied with it. I assume, that there is still a bug in cvsnt.
A RCS-file should never be located locally.

Is there any information about .history,v available? On
http://www.cvsnt.org/manual/ I could not find any. What excactly is it used
for? Under which conditions will it be created and filled with which data?

Any information welcome
Thanks
Olaf

Does your client machine have D: mapped as a CDROM drive?

If so, try putting a CD in the drive :).

What seems to happens to us (we have our repository on
D:/cvs also) are some cvs client operations form paths to
repository files and try to open them, on the client side.

On my work machine I moved the CD to E:, leaving D:
unmapped.

Converting the server to use the repository prefix will fix these
messages too.
