Hello,
I'd appreciate any help on the two catastrophe occurred since we
started implement CVS 1.10 in UNIX and WinCVS 1.12b in our group:
1) After we moved the repository over, some files are missing. At a
closer look, these files were not missing. Instead, these files were
changed from, e.g. CommunicationsManager.java,v to
CommunicationsManager.java,v0100444. This made these files invisible
to CVS. I moved the repository over by taring the entire repository
and ftped it over to the new box. There are about 100+ files in this
repository but only 6 of them were impacted across 5 different
directories.
What do you think caused this? Is this an existing bug?
2) Very recently a bigger catastrophe occurred. The entire CVSROOT
folder was gone, which made the entire repository inaccessible.
Moreover, 10+ files were missing. This time it is the file extension
issue. They were gone: the CVSROOT and those files were gone.
I put a watch on all projects and I didn't receive any notification
associated with any of the misssing files. If a user had removed these
files from the repository, I would have seen an Attic folder under
those directories. But I saw nothing.
It looks more like someone has telneted into the box and physically
removed those files and CVSROOT directory. We checked the .sh_history
but found nothing.
Is it possible that certain jobs running on the same box could have
"selectively" removed these files and directory without a trace?
These are very scary events to us as we use the code for production
releases. If anyone could offer any insight on these issues, I'd
appreciate it.
Veronica
