I'm new to the list... so pardon me if this issue has been hashed and re-hashed previously. I'm trying get cvs to export a module from a remote server to a shared network directory and the cvs export command is giving me an error: cvs [export aborted]: writing my_mod/Documentation_Product_Line/pdf/Prod_600.pdf: Invalid argument The problem seems to occur when cvs export is writing to a destination directory that is on a remote system and the file being written is larger than 64MB. Here is the cvs command-line that was performed: cvs -d :pserver:myuser at myserver:/cvs/dev export -r HEAD -d H:\share\temp\my_mod MyModule where, the H: drive on the client system is mapped to a share on a remote Windows 2000 server system. Changing to the H:\share\temp\my_mod directory and omitting the export -d option results in the same error. FWIW here is the tail end of the trace messages when run with "-t -t": cvs export: Updating my_mod/Documentation_Product_Line/pdf S -> server_register(Prod_600.pdf, 1.3, , -kb, HEAD, , ) S -> Register(Prod_600.pdf, 1.3, , -kb, HEAD ) cvs [export aborted]: writing my_mod/Documentation_Product_Line/pdf/Prod_600.pdf: Invalid argument The client system is using the "Concurrent Versions System (CVSNT) 2.0.58d" that is bundled with the TortoiseCVS client. I have also tried the latest cvs.exe (version 1.12.12) from cvshome.org and I get the same error. Any ideas? FWIW, the cvs export process works fine when writing to local path (e.g. c:\temp\my_mod). It also works fine when run from a Linux client using the same remote destination directory mounted via samba. Tom Firl
