[cvsnt] disabling Norton Antivirus Realtime protection??

[Colin Bendell]

We found a huge performance hit when we did have NAV running.  I would
recommend to your IT dept that they should exclude realtime protection
on the cvs store directories OR that they buy you a four-way Opteron box
with 64Gb of ram running Win2k3 Data Center on a fiber channel SAN
solution. :)

The reason, as I understand it, is due to the large volume of files that
the cvs service requires to read during a cvs update.  For every file
that cvs reads, nav also does a virus scan.  In our case, once we
disabled realtime protection we saw updates take one third the time they
did previously.

Cheers,

I've noticed on the newer versions of CVSNT it requires you to disable
the realtime protection that is used by Norton Antivirus software. Do
you know why this is required? Unfortunately, our IT department will not
let of do this for obvious reasons. Is there a way around this
requirement?
