You certainly can use RCS locally if Source Depot will allow that. You don't even have to have the ,v files in the same directory or a subdirectory, although I'm not sure this is documented anywhere -- I saw a colleague use that and vaguely recall having read about it somewhere, but I could not find it in the documentation when I wanted to read about it.

(This is from memory, I don't have RCS here.)

Code:

co file /path/to/file,v

Similarly for ci, rlog, etc.

If the conflicts are complex, you still end up with a mess. I hear Mercurial (or was it Monotone?) is supposed to bring some relief to resolving conflicts. Also, have you tried xxdiff, emerge (if you use Emacs) or some other dedicated diff merge tool?

Of course, according to theory, you should talk to your colleagues so you can avoid conflicts, not just struggle with a merge tool in your cubicle.

pvck

PVCK(8) 						      System Manager's Manual							   PVCK(8)

NAME

       pvck - check physical volume metadata

SYNOPSIS

       pvck [-d|--debug] [-h|--help] [-v|--verbose] [--labelsector] PhysicalVolume [PhysicalVolume...]

DESCRIPTION

       pvck checks physical volume LVM metadata for consistency.

OPTIONS

       See lvm for common options.

       --labelsector sector
	      By  default, 4 sectors of PhysicalVolume are scanned for an LVM label, starting at sector 0.  This parameter allows you to specify a
	      different starting sector for the scan and is useful for recovery situations.  For example, suppose the partition table is corrupted
	      or  lost	on  /dev/sda, but you suspect there was an LVM partition at approximately 100 MB.  This area of the disk may be scanned by
	      using the --labelsector parameter with a value of 204800 (100 * 1024 * 1024 / 512 = 204800):

	      pvck --labelsector 204800 /dev/sda

	      Note that a script can be used with --labelsector to automate the process of finding LVM labels.
