I have run into a snag with my CVS installation: [scarolan@neinei:~]$ cvs co -P installfiles cvs checkout: Updating installfiles cvs [checkout aborted]: out of memory; can not allocate 1022462837 bytes Unfortunately we have a couple of large binary .tgz files in the repository. I was able to check them in but as you can see I can't check them out because of memory limitations. I have even added 2 more gigs of swap space but it still errors out. I noticed while watching it that it doesn't seem to use all the swap space. Any pointers?
Subversion has better handling for binaries. Not sure if it will solve the problem but it's one of the factors that caused us to switch from CVS to SVN (among others).
If you do go the SVN route, use the "fsfs" storage - it's much more robust and recovers better from any corruption than the others available in SVN (at least that's my experience anyway).
Good luck :) -- James
