Why upgrade to RH9? It has already been pushed to legacy. Consider using something recent like FC3. > We > plan to use some disk imaging tool like System Imager or PartImage to > copy the disk image of the old cvs server to the disk on the new cvs > server and then upgrade the os of the new cvs server to redhat linux > 9. Can such a migration cause any problems/issues for cvs ? What care > needs to be taken to prevent any problems especially for the OS > upgrade ? Any suggestions ? Don't "upgrade". It will be a mess. Take a backup of your cvs repository and "move" it to the new machine with a fresh install of the OS. Backing up the cvs repository should be as simple as a tar -c dump. Try duplicating the cvs setup on the new machine with a test install, figure out the process step by step, announce a downtime of the cvs server, migrate it once again and you should be done. -- VaibhaV http://vsharma.net ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by Oracle Space Sweepstakes Want to be the first software developer in space?
