cvs [commit aborted]: out of memory

[Shawn Matlock]

CVS 1.11.17 on AIX

 

I just started receiving an out of memory error for a single 50M binary file.

 

 

>cvs commit -m prem_unx/

<snip>

Checking in prem_unx/BO Rpts/BLPR_001.rpt;

/srv/cvs/odsapps/prem_unx/BO Rpts/BLPR_001.rpt,v  <--  BLPR_001.rpt

cvs [commit aborted]: out of memory; can not allocate 5722836 bytes

 

 

There is plenty of space on the devices.

 

 

Any suggestions?

 

Thank you,

Shawn

Here's what I just wrote to add to the manual:

cvs [command aborted]: out of memory
There is insufficient (virtual) memory available to continue. In
client/server mode, the problem is almost certainly on the
server rather than the client; see Section 2.9.1 [Server
requirements], page 20 for memory estimates. Many systems have
limits on the amount of virtual memory that a single process can
use, so a process can run out of virtual memory long before the
system itself has run out. The method of increasing the
per-process limits varies depending on the operating system.

Larry,

Thank you for getting back to me. It turns out the 'cvs' user's home
directory was not correct. It was trying to use a temp directory on a
share that was ... almost out of space.

Go figure.

Hi,

I have the same problem when I am checking out of the Linux Server to
AIX Client. The client has 12 Gb of memory. It is trying to access
the /tmp on the checkout. How do I change it to point to somewhere
else as /tmp has less than a Gig.?

Thanks
