RE: possible bug

[Josh Grebe]

Jeremy,
I was having a cvs problem and saw your post to info-cvs mailing list. I
was having exactly the same problem, where I could do any operation but a
checkout. I used truss to determine that cvs was for some unknown reason
trying to access the directory of my cvsroot on the local solaris box!
Which in my case was inside /home, which Solaris does stupid tricks with.
My solution was to umount /home (even though there wasn't anything mounted
there). It looks like you could also change your cvsroot path to something
outside /home.
If you use truss:
truss cvs checkout [module]
the last line I got is:
readlink("/home/cvs", 0xFFBEF7C8, 1028) (sleeping...)

I think that /home gets borked again on reboot though.
