[Cvsnt] Does CVS for NT work with RAID 5??

[Christopher Shreve]

Emil,

I agree.  What you say is most likely correct.

However, for me the only difference between a working CVS install and a non-working CVS install is
if the CVS repository is on a RAID 5 device or not.  It seems to work great on other 'normal' drives.
'Non-working' should be qualified here...it means I can init the repository AND login...but not checkout
directories.

Strangely enough it works if I set my CVSROOT environment variable to K:\cvsrep.  It doesn't work if I set my CVSROOT environment variable to :pserver:joeblo at cvs_server:K:\cvsrep

So it seems to have something to do with the pserver protocol.


????

Chris

I didn't try CVS on a RAID partition but I really don't think that your
problem comes from that. I mean if it does, it would be fundamentally
wrong. Raid is a block device adstraction and from a filesystem's point
of view the notion of a RAID doesn't exist, and CVS uses libc to work
with files, doesn't it?

I think I've narrowed my CVS problems down to the following...


It works great if I use repositories that are normal non-raided
directories.


It doesn't work if my CVS repository is on a logical drive (say K:\)
that is RAID.


I can login but when I try to checkout CVSROOT I get...

Cannot access K:\cvsrep\CVSROOT
permission denied.


Has anybody had any luck getting CVS working with RAID?
