Normally I'd use the -d flag for this, and it works fine normally. However now it's failing.</p> <p>my setup on the cvs server is:</p> <pre><code>[root@CVS-SERVER ~]# cd /var/cvs/ [root@CVS-SERVER cvs]# ll /var/cvs total 24 drwxrwsr-x. 7 cvs cvs 4096 Apr 21 10:57 bin drwxrwsr-x. 11 root cvs 4096 Apr 21 11:13 conf drwxrwsr-x. 3 cvs cvs 4096 Apr 21 11:14 CVSROOT [root@CVS-SERVER cvs]# ll /var/cvs/conf/logrotate/logrotate.d/ total 160 -r--r--r--. 1 user cvs 344 Mar 3 01:55 acpid,v -r--r--r--. 1 user cvs 358 Mar 3 01:55 aide,v -r--r--r--. 1 user cvs 600 Apr 14 13:02 audit,v -r--r--r--. 1 user cvs 417 Mar 3 01:55 boot,v -r--r--r--. 1 user cvs 439 Mar 3 01:55 btmp,v -r--r--r--. 1 root cvs 350 Mar 3 01:58 cacti,v -r--r--r--. 1 user cvs 413 Mar 3 01:55 cron,v -r--r--r--. 1 user cvs 408 Mar 3 01:55 dmesg,v -r--r--r--. 1 user cvs 404 Mar 3 01:55 httpd,v -r--r--r--. 1 user cvs 326 Mar 3 01:55 iptables,v -r--r--r--. 1 user cvs 419 Mar 3 01:55 maillog,v -r--r--r--. 1 user cvs 414 Mar 3 01:55 messages,v -r--r--r--. 1 root cvs 570 Mar 3 01:58 nagios,v -r--r--r--. 1 user cvs 512 Mar 3 01:55 psacct,v -r--r--r--. 1 user cvs 350 Mar 3 01:55 sa,v -r--r--r--. 1 user cvs 417 Mar 3 01:55 secure,v -r--r--r--. 1 user cvs 380 Mar 3 01:55 snmpd,v -r--r--r--. 1 user cvs 419 Mar 3 01:55 spooler,v -r--r--r--. 1 user cvs 439 Mar 3 01:55 wtmp,v -r--r--r--. 1 user cvs 325 Mar 3 01:55 yum,v </code></pre> <p>on the client:</p> <pre><code>[root@CVS-CLIENT ~]# export CVSROOT=:pserver:user@11.22.33.44:/var/cvs [root@CVS-CLIENT ~]# cvs login Logging in to :pserver:user@11.22.33.44:xxxx/var/cvs CVS password: [root@CVS-CLIENT ~]# </code></pre> <p>the command i'm using is:</p> <pre><code>[root@CVS-CLIENT logrotate.d]# cvs co -d . conf/logrotate/logrotate.d/ </code></pre> <p>and the error im getting is:</p> <pre><code>cvs checkout: existing repository /var/cvs does not match /var/cvs/conf/logrotate/logrotate.d cvs checkout: ignoring module conf/logrotate/logrotate.d </code></pre> <p>and the logs on the server are:</p> <pre><code>[root@CVS-SERVER log]# tail -f messages Apr 21 11:51:45 admin xinetd[911]: START: cvspserver pid=3321 from=11.22.33.45 Apr 21 11:51:45 admin xinetd[911]: EXIT: cvspserver status=0 pid=3321 duration=0(sec) </code></pre> <p>Thoughts?</p>rfelsburgThu, 21 Apr 2011 11:55:18 -0400http://linuxexchange.org/questions/2503/cvs-error-when-trying-to-checkout-just-files-not-directory-structuredirectorycheckoutcvspserver
