No, I have over 40GB available on the filesystem.
CVSROOT is set to :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/ncvs
so, if the repository is corrupt, then someone else has to fix it.
It's possible that it's the /tmp directory on the remote side which
is running out of disk space. CVS does not work well over a remote
connection, when dealing with a very large repository.
If I had 40-gig to play with, I would much rather cvsup the CVS tree
to my local hard disks, and then CVS to *that* repository. In fact,
that's exactly what I do, on all my freebsd machines (except my sparc),
and most of my machines have less than 10-gig available.
This is much better for everyone involved, if you have an extra 2 gig
or so that you can use for holding the repository. (extra in addition
to the space you'll need for /usr/src when you check it out from your
copy of the repository).
