I just ran into a funny situation. I just checked in a series of big
binary files that will change rarely, but ought to be made available in
CVS. When checking in I received a message stating
unable to write, file WN200-H-SUAGP2.dat
No space left on device
I determined that /tmp on the CVS server filled up. (I wasn't aware that
CVS even used /tmp during a commit.)
I temporarily solved this problem by creating a tmp on a big drive with
extra space. However, I don't want that to be the official /tmp. Neither
do I want to have to rename /tmp, make a symlink for the temporary /tmp,
and then undo the two steps to revert back to the original /tmp.
Commits this big are very, very, very rare, but I hate surprizes!
Is there a way I can force CVS to use a specific directory for its
scratch space?
