Please also familiarise yourself with the FAQ: http://www.march-hare.com/cvspro/faq/faq2.asp#2z You forgot to mention the version (I'll reproduce your comment from info-cvs for the benefit of CVSNT subscribers): > > I'm using CVSNT server version: 2.5.1.1976 on a windows box. > my CVROOT is : :sspi:mrich at vienna:\mimosa > Please tell us the exact command you are running when you get this error: > cvs server: warning: duplicate key `log' in version > `1.11.2.9' of RCS file > `/Root/Products/SelfServiceRetrieve/Web/Client/QuickSearch.aspx.cs,v' > cvs server: warning: duplicate key `text' in > version `1.11.2.9' of RCS file > `\Root/Products/SelfServiceRetrieve/Web/Client/QuickSearch.aspx.cs,v' > cvs server: warning: duplicate key `text' in > version `1.11.2.9' of RCS file > `\Root/Products/SelfServiceRetrieve/Web/Client/QuickSearch.aspx.cs,v' > cvs [server aborted]: Movable pointer not within rcs buffer - aborting > Error, CVS operation failed > I have had this error in the past but it has happened on new > files and thus rebuilding them was not a big deal. As I mentioned on info-cvs, this error should absolutely never ever occur. Can you tell us more about the environment you are using CVSNT in? What is the client? What sort of disk is the repo store on on the server, eg: is it a mapped network drive/samba drive, or a local "FAT" disk or local "NTFS" disk? What is the server OS (windows 2000?) what is the client OS (windows xp sp2?) what client tool (eg: wincvs, tortoisecvs, eclipse, oracle developer) etc etc. If it is possible to regularly repeat this error please describe the sequence. If at all possible setup another "clean" server with the latest CVSNT 2.5.03 - copy your repo over and try the same command/tests there. If you can reproduce these errors/warnings then please perform a trace and send the log and RCS file to support at march-hare.com (the newsgroup doesn't accept large attachments). Send everything else (except large attachments) to the newsgroup. > It there a way to edit the archive to fix this?

No idea yet - need more info. Regards, Arthur
