Hi,
each time when I am loading a certain dump file on Windows which
contains one revision with over 100K changed paths I get the error
"Can't open file
'c:\Repositories\test\db\transactions\5445-479.txn\next-ids': The
requested operation cannot be performed on a file with a user-mapped
section open.". After looking at the mailing list archives and other
mailing lists I found out that I am not the only one to encounter this
problem and that in most cases a virus scanner was the cause of the
problem. And indeed, adding next-ids to the exclusion list solved the
problem.
But now I wonder if svnadmin couldn't handle this case a bit more
elegantly. IMHO it would make sense not to quit the load immediately
but to try it again maybe after waiting half a second or so if this
specific error occurs (some other users reported that they got the
error "The process cannot access the file because it is being used by
another process."). If we can't access next-ids after trying it let's
say 5 times with a little pause after each try we still can quit the
load process.
What do you think about this idea?
Cheers,
Mathias
