Re: more cvs performance questions (I think they are at least

[Richard Pfeiffer]

Great info from everyone!  Thank you -

Have one quick question right now, more comments later - and Mark, I'll get the problem with the current version of Eclipse and any cvs version of 1.11.7 and higher out as soon as I can.

 

As far as setting this LockDir to something like /tmp/CVSLockDir:

 

I know the manual references LockDir to point to an in-file memory system.

In our case, as a refresher, our repository is prod. level NFS mounted on a dedicated NetApp disk and we have proven that in our case, this is much faster.  So:

1) Would it still be advisable to try writing lock files to the local /tmp? 

2) Could switching LockDir so that lock files are written to the local /tmp increase load on the local machine and increase our problem, since that's where our problems lie?

3) Or, would it be feasble to have LockDir point to a file across NFS, but outside of the repository?  Of course then, we'd be are increasing NFS traffic.

 

Thx,
