Hi,

I am trying to add an image file in CVS which is 11 GB.

bash-2.05# file imagefile
imagefile: ascii text
bash-2.05# cvs add imagefile
cvs add: nothing known about imagefile
bash-2.05#
bash-2.05# cvs add -kb imagefile
cvs add: nothing known about imagefile
bash-2.05#

CVS version:
Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.11.1p1 (client/server)

Please help me to resolve this issue.

Thanks!

Is the parent directory of "imagefile" under CVS control?

Why? CVS is intended to be a *source* control system, not a general
purpose configuration management system.

That said, CVS 1.11 does not have large file support; you'll have to
upgrade to CVS 1.12 to get it. Once you do, you'll likely have problems
mmaping such a large file, so you'll either have to disable mmap by
manually editing the config.h file after running configure or get the
current development version of 1.12 which automatically switches to
using normal I/O when mmap fails.
