This discussion is interesting to me because of the way we are setting up
our CVS and working directories to function. I hope the diagrams draw nice
for everyone.
1. I have been told that the following setup will lead to corruption
because of esoteric problems in SMB that CVS can bring out:
------------------- --------------
|Linux CVS | |Windows |
|Server | |Workstation |
| --------------- | | |
| | | C P | | | ---------- |
| | Repo | V S | | | | WinCVS | |
| | | S E |<--CVS protocol-->| Client | |
| | | R | | | ----^----- |
| | | V | | | | |
| | | E | | | ----v----- |
| | | R | | | | Mapped | |
| --------------- | | | Drive | |
| | | S S | | | ----^----- |
| | Work | M H | | | | |
| | Dir | B A |<--SMB protocol-------- |
| | | R | | | |
| | | E | | --------------
| --------------- |
-------------------
Fine. Won't do that.
2. Is this setup any better or does it still have the SMB issues?
------------------- --------------
|Linux CVS | |Windows |
|Server | |Workstation |
| --------------- | | |
| | | C P | | | ---------- |
| | Repo | V S | | | | WinCVS | |
| | | S E |<--CVS protocol-->| Client | |
| | | R | | | ----^----- |
| | | V | | | | |
| | | E | | | ----v----- |
| | | R | | | | Mapped | |
| --------------- | | | Drive | |
------------------- | ----^----- |
------|-------
------------------- |
| Linux or Win | |
| File Server | |
| --------------- | |
| | | S S | | |
| | Work | M H | | |
| | Dir | B A |<--SMB protocol--------
| | | R | |
| | | E | |
| --------------- |
-------------------
3. So the only reliable operation is to have the working directory on a
locally mounted file system?
------------------- --------------
|Linux CVS | |Windows |
|Server | |Workstation |
| --------------- | | |
| | | C P | | | ---------- |
| | Repo | V S | | | | WinCVS | |
| | | S E |<--CVS protocol-->| Client | |
| | | R | | | ----^----- |
| | | V | | | | |
| | | E | | | ----v----- |
| | | R | | | | Work | |
| --------------- | | | Dir | |
------------------- | ---------- |
