These two modes of operation work in basically the same way under CVS;
if one fails, the other is likely to as well. The CVS server accesses
the repository in the same way a CVS process accesses it directly. (As

Please avoid sweeping generalizations like that one; a great deal of
large-scale use of CVS does not involve NFS in any way.
