Re: Issues with network file systems and CVS

This discussion is interesting to me because of the way we are setting up our CVS and working directories to function. I hope the diagrams draw nice for everyone.

1. I have been told that the following setup will lead to corruption because of esoteric problems in SMB that CVS can bring out:
-------------------              --------------
|Linux CVS        |              |Windows     |
|Server           |              |Workstation |
| --------------- |              |            |
| |       | C P | |              | ---------- |
| | Repo  | V S | |              | | WinCVS | |
| |       | S E |<--CVS protocol-->| Client | |
| |       |   R | |              | ----^----- |
| |       |   V | |              |     |      |
| |       |   E | |              | ----v----- |
| |       |   R | |              | | Mapped | |
| --------------- |              | | Drive  | |
| |       | S S | |              | ----^----- |
| | Work  | M H | |              |     |      |
| | Dir   | B A |<--SMB protocol--------      |
| |       |   R | |              |            |
| |       |   E | |              --------------
| --------------- |
-------------------

Fine.  Won't do that.

2. Is this setup any better or does it still have the SMB issues?
-------------------              --------------
|Linux CVS        |              |Windows     |
|Server           |              |Workstation |
| --------------- |              |            |
| |       | C P | |              | ---------- |
| | Repo  | V S | |              | | WinCVS | |
| |       | S E |<--CVS protocol-->| Client | |
| |       |   R | |              | ----^----- |
| |       |   V | |              |     |      |
| |       |   E | |              | ----v----- |
| |       |   R | |              | | Mapped | |
| --------------- |              | | Drive  | |
-------------------              | ----^----- |
                                 ------|-------
-------------------                    |
| Linux or Win    |                    |
| File Server     |                    |
| --------------- |                    |
| |       | S S | |                    |
| | Work  | M H | |                    |
| | Dir   | B A |<--SMB protocol--------
| |       |   R | |
| |       |   E | |
| --------------- |
-------------------

3. So the only reliable operation is to have the working directory on a locally mounted file system?
-------------------              --------------
|Linux CVS        |              |Windows     |
|Server           |              |Workstation |
| --------------- |              |            |
| |       | C P | |              | ---------- |
| | Repo  | V S | |              | | WinCVS | |
| |       | S E |<--CVS protocol-->| Client | |
| |       |   R | |              | ----^----- |
| |       |   V | |              |     |      |
| |       |   E | |              | ----v----- |
| |       |   R | |              | | Work   | |
| --------------- |              | | Dir    | |
-------------------              | ---------- |
                                 --------------
