I found myself unable to do cvs operations due to an error last night:
can't create temporary directory /tmp/cvs-serv14017 Read-only filesystem
I logged in and looked around and this appears to be due to an error of some kind that forced common-lisp.net to remount-ro the '/' and '/var' filesystems. I thought you should know in case you haven't heard about this from someone else yet as it probably effects all common-lisp.net projects.
Thank you, Ian
