RE: CVS and NAS Drives

[Ben Weatherall]

Synchronous means that a complete round-trip operation occurs before the
next operation starts. When you buy your NAS device, you should pay
attention to whether that is the default and if it is not if you can
configure it. If you cannot, don't go there. 

An alternative is to set up a rsync service on your XP system and have
it maintain a complete backup of the repository on the NAS. For more on
rsync, Google "rsync service windows" and read some of the links.
http://www.gaztronics.net/rsync.php looks especially interesting.
