RE: BDB locking problems

Hi,

Sorry that it took me such a long time to reply - I was too busy with
another project to try.

Unfortunately, this dump/create/load did not work. When I now try to check
out, I get the message: file not found: revision `0', path
'/trunk/stylesheets'.

(I did dump/load the revisions-table... Trying the same on the old repos
still hangs rather than giving an error)

When trying to do 'svnadmin recover newrepos' I get the same error msg as
before: svn: The segment is already unlocked
svn: svn_repos_recover: failed to delete all locks in repository `oldrepos'.

SVN version 0.15; platform Win2k sp2. Installed with the installer
downloaded from the website...

Anyone who has a clue which locks these are? How to recover from these
problems?

With regards,

--Tim

The __db.00? files are not interesting. The log files are
interesting, but not dump-able.

Try db_dump'ing all the tables in your repository, storing each as a
dumpfile (db_dump -k nodes > nodes.dump). Then, 'svnadmin create
newrepos'. Then, db_load those dumpfiles into the newrepos, and
'svnadmin recover newrepos'. See if that gives you a working
repository that has the data from your broken one.
