The error we are getting is from the Eclipse CVS clients on Windows. There is no firewall between the server and clients.
Thanks for the feedback, Mike From: [email protected] (Karl Berry) To: [email protected] Cc: [email protected] Date: 12/03/2011 05:39 PM Subject: Re: [Savannah-help-public] Unknown response received from cvs server We are getting a very generic error when trying to checkout a specific folder in CVS. Is it still failing? There was another (network) problem seemingly around the same time. failed due to an internal error (took 0:03.338) Error: Unknown response received from cvs server: I don't recognize that error. Are you just using the cmdline cvs client on a Unix-ish system? This directory contains a large number of files (~1700) but none of them are very large in size. Is there a limit on the number of files you can There is no hard limit, but this kind of setup is what CVS is least efficient at. It could be that a firewall between you and the server is giving up. You could try checking out some specific files, instead of the whole directory, and see if that flies. Tried setting timeout value in my CVS client I've sometimes had to set ssh timeout values to stop things from timing out. As in: ServerAliveInterval 30 ServerAliveCountMax 10 TCPKeepAlive yes Sorry I don't have a better answer. Best, karl
