>IME, cvsup never sits there doing nothing. There's nearly always some >disk activity when running cvsup. What is it doing at this time? At the start, about the time of teh first checkout msgs, there is some very intermittant disk activity, but then that stops and eventually I get then many minutes later the Inacitivity Timemout msg plus the "will try again at hh:mm" msg. >I'm >guessing it's blocked somewhere, ``ps axl | grep cvsup'' may help to >find the problem. Have you tried other cvsup servers? yes, Monday afternoon/evening, I had the same timeout experience with cvsup.de, .fr, and .uk. After it got an inactivity time out with .fr Monday late, saying that it would try later, I went home, to find it Tuesday morning with nothing more than the same inactivity timeout message but not more checkout lines. In equally fruitless parallel effort, I grabbed 300 megs of "bare-bones" .iso images for 3.4 at 600+ kbits/sec from .de mirror, but now I'm trying to find out what to do with them. Adaptec CD Creator/Win (mentioned on the comment line of the .de ftp mirror site) seemed to recognize the files, but just wrote them to the blank as a dumb file, not as an image. I wonder if trench warfare feels like this? Len To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
