I’m using Subversion here at UNLV to manage all of the course content
we’re developing. The repository is hosted on a RAID 5 subsystem, and one
of the drives was having problems for a couple of days without my knowing
about it. It finally died completely yesterday. I was able to replace the
drive, resynchronize the RAID, recover the file system with chkdsk, and
resolve all but one subversion complaint.
What I'm left with is this: both “svnadmin verify” and “svnadmin dump”
report “Invalid diff stream: insn 4 cannot be decoded” on revision 64.
However, it's important to note that revision 64 was committed several
weeks before the hardware problems started to occur, so I don't know that
they're related.
I tried specifying revisions beyond 64, but that didn't help - I still get
the same error. I also checked both the "dev" and "users" archives, and
while there have been numerous postings about this problem, I did not find
any solutions.
Any new insights from anyone?
