The working copy is on a local ext3 partition.
The CVS repository on the sun box [see previous emails] looks like an
NFS drive [I thought it was a local drive]
The Subversion repository on the dual-xeon Fedora Core 1 box is a
locally mounted ext3 partition.
For all tests, the same, fedora core 1 machine was used to import and
checkout files. All files were imported and checked out from a locally
mounted ext3 partition.
HTH. Let me know if there is any other helpful information.
Thanks!
