Exactly what do they mean by "access a network share via CVS"? I don't access a share "via CVS" I run cvs when the current directory is accessed via a share. Now perhaps that is what they meant, but in that case the arguments against using shares are somewhat dubious: - bandwidth True, but that's my problem (or my network admins) nothing for cvs or the cvs developers to worry about. - security Ditto. Not your problem guys. The security between me and my share is my problem - data integrity Hmmm - sounds bad. But this is no different to any other application using a share - if all applications followed this philosophy there would be no use of shares! Now if I were accessing a share across a WAN then yes potential failures could make this a risky setup - but across a LAN? I don't think so. Besides, again this is *my* problem, not the cvs developers. - accuracy Ok this sounds samba specific - and may be enough reason to not use samba shares. - feasibility/support Nuff said. This sounds like a samba problem more than a share problem. I'm using windows shares from windows, vai windows - not samba shares. As I said this should just work "out of the box" and by and large it does - except when the share is in "offline mode". Anyway thanks for the information. Funny how things that appear so simple from perspective, seem so complex from another. I guess before I head OS again with my laptop I'll just have to copy the "sandbox" to a local drive.
