[cvsnt] Re: Problem: cvs.exe - No Disk

[Bo Berglund]

FWIW:
Concerning WinCvs it actually *does* scan all "locations" on startup.
We found this out after we had investigated the possibility to go into a sandbox
on a workstation via a share from another PC using WinCvs.
The next day whan WinCvs was opened up it hung forever (it felt like that) because
that PC was not on line at that time. So only after some considerable network
timeout was it possible to use WinCvs.
I had to remove that location from the WinCvs list to stop it from doing this on
startup.

No, it only accesses the drives you tell it to.

The server can only access the parts of the disk that are in the
reopsitory root list, and the client will only access directories
below the current directory (usually).

WinCVS keeps old drives around on its history, but I don't think even
then it accesses them unless you ask it too.
