Hi all,

is there a problem with the Moodle server or is this a problem on my own computer?

> can't create temporary directory /tmp/cvs-serv23370
> Read-only file system

The error message comes while I try to update my Moodle4Mac via cvs. The script was working perfectly in the past.

Best regards, Ralf

Try cleaning out your /tmp and make sure its writable by your user

Hi Jordan,

the same problem is on more than only one computer. So I think it should be a problem on the server.

On my own computer I controlled the folder /tmp ... it's empty and it's writable for every user. The harddisk has 30 GB free space.

Best regards, Ralf

Is this still an issue for you?
the server removes old files in /tmp hourly, so it shouldn't be a continuous issue

It's still the same problem. And as I wrote .... it's not only one computer!!
I try to connect to the UK CVS ... perhaps I should try to use a different one??

Re-assigning to Dan as he looks after the UK CVS mirror

Hi Jordan,

The disks have failed in the server, I suspect the best solution for the time being is to switch the dns to another mirror.

I have changed the DNS for uk.cvs.moodle.org to point to eu.cvs.moodle.org (open university)
Let me know when you want it changed back

Yes! It works again. Super! Great! Thanks!
... and it was the server .... not the script
