Hi Joseph!
I'm not a resident expert, but the fact that you were having
troubles with locks and BDB
leads me to think someone was running svnadmin or some such as root or
something instead
of the user who "owns" the database. Not sure tho, as I use https so my
setup is different.
The one thing I know about fsfs is that you don't need write access to
read the DB, so
maybe that's why you haven't gotten lock problems since switching?
(guessing wildly)
I think there still has to be some type of server process, even if you
use svn+ssh? Maybe
svnserv? At any rate there should be some logs on "the other side" you
might check to see
what commands are being sent to the "server" that are getting hung up.
For instance I found it helpful to check my httpd logs while setting up
Subversion to see
what urls and such were actually being sent back and forth. Sorry I
can't tell you where
to look for yours. Someone else around here would know the facts.
