> Since we converted from Unix to cvsNT, we've been getting a lot of CVSNT on unix and if so what one or on some other system? > corruption in the history file. Haven't heard of it before today. But most CVSNT users use the Audit database - the history file is quite useless on all versions of CVS since if there is any problem writing to it that step is just skipped. The only case where I could think this corruption could happen is if someone is accessing the repository using :local: and/or the history file (and consequently the repository) is on a network drive or scanned by anti-virus. > Here's some examples from a script I wrote to dig out the bad lines: Please supply the actual history file (or actual excerpts of the bad lines and the context). If possible a trace of the client and server when a bad record gets written. Regards, Arthur
