RE: checkout/commit onto/from shared disks.

[David Bowring]

My concerns were merely that I had heard noises about using CVS on disk
shares and was worried (in some part) about corruption, though I could
not foresee it.  All the clustered machines will be on a Gigabit
backbone, so this should negate the network throughput issue.

Cheers

what is your concern?
The only one that I can see would be large files with frequent changes
over
a slow network.  But even that wouldnt seem like much of an issue.

Hi,

I'd like to start by thanking everyone for the advice I've received from
previous posts...so thank you all.
Alas, I once more seek your advice though.  I intend to build a
clustered linux solution for our developers to use.
This would comprise of one central server upon which all the developers
home directories and cvs server would reside.  They will be logged into
any one of many machines (nodes).  My concern is being that each of our
developers home directories will be a disk share from the central
machine, and all the checkout/commit will be done via pserver onto these
shares (I am considering using NFS to create the shares).  If anyone can
give me any guidance or foresight of any pit falls with such a
mechanism, it would be gratefully appreciated.

Thanks

Dave B.
