RE: cvs aborted !!

[Zanabria, Moises]

Oopps :(, actually this problem it happened after I deleted some revisions
for this file with "cvs admin -o rev2::rev32 SRMActuateReports.dll" ,
actually I did this command only for this file, the file is still there, I
can run cvs co,  but I can not run cvs log, cvs status , return the message
that I sent in my last email, regarding your questions:
For the second, are you accessing your repository with some kind of
shared filesystem (like Windows file sharing, Samba, or NFS)?   Yes, I use
NFS
What kind of a system is your server running on and what kind of disk holds
the repository?
We use Sun, let me check disk I'm not 100% sure I'll let you know.

BTW, I tried to modify by hand the file SRMActuateReports.dll,v , but is a
binary, the head of file looks ok but how can I identify the problem in this
file, or the corrupt line.


Thanks you so much for advised.
Moises.

That indicates that your repository is corrupt.  The only way to "fix"
it is to edit that RCS file by hand or restore it from a backup.  If i
were you, I'd have two major concerns at this point:  How many other RCS
files in the repository are also damaged?  How did they get damaged?

For the first, Donald Sharp has written a perl script to check the
integrity of a repository:

        
http://ccvs.cvshome.org/servlets/ReadMsg?msgId=3122&listName=info

For the second, are you accessing your repository with some kind of
shared filesystem (like Windows file sharing, Samba, or NFS)?  If so,
stop it immediately and use client/server CVS instead!  There have been
many reports of corruption caused by bugs in such filesystems.  If not,
it's likely you have some kind of a hardware problem.  What kind of a
system is your server running on and what kind of disk holds the
repository?
