Hello,

thank you for the hint with the drive letter, I knew this option but I'd like to avoid this extra step.

I'm only working on windows machines so I don't know whether this is a windows specific problem or how it looks on other os. For the unc-path I only can refer to wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Path_%28computing%29#Uniform_Naming_Convention
But I guess you've already checked this.

Any suggestion more from somebody?

Thanks, Christian

    Hello user group,

    I have an issue with unc pathes on a windows machine.
    My fossil version is: This is fossil version [6502627a3e]
    2011-02-08 12:52:37 UTC

    Is there any known restraint regarding unc pathes on windows?

    I tried the following:
    I had a repo on my harddisk drive C, cloned it to a file server
    using the unc-path \\server\path\subpath\repo.fossil


I'm not real clear exactly what a unc-path is, and it is a reasonable guess that I don't have the hardware/software at hand to test any changes that might be made to support them. So I'm going to be looking to the windows experts on this list to suggest patches for fixing this.

    This worked perfectly.
    Then I made changes in the local repository and I tried to push
    these changes into the remote repo on the file server and I get
    this error message: fossil.exe: server sends error: >repository
    does not exist or
     is in an unreadable directory: /server/path/subpath/repo.fossil

    The error message "changed" backslashes to slashes and skipped one
    backslash before the server-name.

    It is possible to start the local server with the remote repo and
    push the changes using http://127.0.0.1:8080/ but not directly
    with the file path.

    Anybody has the same experience? Should it be possible to do this
    or do I have a comprehension problem?

    Thank you for any feedback.
    Regards, Christian
