Re: CVS repository corruption

[Donald Sharp]

As I mentioned in private email.  I would recommend moving away
from using nfs to mount the repository so you could do work.  
Set it up in pserver mode( or rsh, or ssh ) and give it a try...

If you don't want to go that route, You might want to check and see 
if aix has any nfs patches to install.  Somewhere in the back of
my mind I seem to recall nfs incompatibilities between linux and aix
that were solved by aix patches.
