RE: CVS - Terminated with signal 25

Damian,

        This is what "ulimit -a" command on my CVS server says:

core file size          (blocks, -c) 0
data seg size           (kbytes, -d) unlimited
file size               (blocks, -f) unlimited
pending signals                 (-i) 1024
max locked memory       (kbytes, -l) 32
max memory size         (kbytes, -m) unlimited
open files                      (-n) 1024
pipe size            (512 bytes, -p) 8
POSIX message queues     (bytes, -q) 819200
stack size              (kbytes, -s) 10240
cpu time               (seconds, -t) unlimited
max user processes              (-u) 77824
virtual memory          (kbytes, -v) unlimited
file locks                      (-x) unlimited


The file size says its unlimited.

Hi Raghu,
 
Can you confirm that you have large file support enabled on your filesystem?  
My guess is that's your problem and not CVS.

Subject: CVS - Terminated with signal 25
All,

 This mail is send as info about the error mentioned in the subject - 
"Terminated with signal 25". This error occurs when the repositories history 
file (located at CVSROOT/history) size crosses 2GB. You could resolve this by 
reducing the size of the history file by deleting its contents. For more 
information on this please visit the blog page

It took me three hours to find this out. A Google search didn't help me.
I thought I'll post this info in this mail group so that someone tomorrow won't 
have to waste so much of time. :)

Regards,
Raghu
