[Cvsnt] How many repositoreis can CvsNt server typically handle

[Arvind Raman]

Thanks for the reply Bo.
Well, in my opinion it does make some sense to have a
diferent repository for each ative project.
This probably might take care of contingencies when
something goes wrong with the repository. I understand
Cvs is quite a stable system but I have faced a couple
of situations when things just conked out (Ofcourse i
agree i would have done sth wrong). For instance one
of my previous mails talked about a situation wherein
I was getting the following error message.
cvs [commit aborted]: cannot rename file
h:/repository/,file, to h:/repository/file,v: File
exists
I couldn't figure out why this happened and neither
could I find a solution to it.
I think until a person is fully comfortable with all
aspects of Cvs it is advisable for him to have
different repositories for ech ongoing project.

Anders,
why do you run a separate repository for each project?
This is not the standard way as I have read the CVS
usage docs.
After a while you will get past the 64 limit and then
what?

Storing each project as a module in a single
repository or didviding
them among a limited set of repositories each handling
a class of
projects (say customer based or similar) makes more
sense to me.
But you may have a special setup of course....

Hi Bo

We're currently hosting about 30 repositories (one for
each active
project in the house) on our CVS server, so the for me
the question
makes perfectly go sense as stated :-)

To answer your question as asked:
Max number of repositories for CVSNT = 64

But also:
I suspect that your question comes from a
misconception that I have
seen a number of times. People tend to confuse
repositories and
modules.
Repositories are the separate storage areas for
modules, in theory
(and many times in practice) a CVS server could work
well with only
one repository.
Modules are the actual 'projects' that are checked in
to the CVS
server. Each module is separately stored in a
repository and contains
all files and folders needed for a project. There is
no limit to the
number of modules that can be handled (except disk
space and such).
