Hi, I tried the method given in your response:-
Added env += TMPDIR=/path/to/some/other/directory/for/tmp In cvspserver. It works!! Thanks very much the guidance.

For :pserver: use via xinetd, I suspect you should be able to specify the TMPDIR environment variable to point to the directory you desire be used. I suspect that something like this: service cvspserver { port = 2401 socket_type = stream protocol = tcp wait = no user = root passenv = PATH server = /usr/local/bin/cvs server_args = -f --allow-root=/usr/cvsroot pserver env += TMPDIR=/path/to/some/other/directory/for/tmp } might do what you need... However, as I do not use or recommend the use of :pserver: mode, I have not actually tried it. > Rgds, > Ahalya > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mark D. > Baushke > Sent: Tuesday, June 29, 2004 3:14 PM > To: Ahalya Kumari (WT01 - EMBEDDED & PRODUCT ENGINEERING SOLUTIONS) > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: <new member> Problem with huge files/folders in CVS > > > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > > > It seems CVS uses the /tmp folder to store the > > uploaded files intermediately.
