RE: Re: Dump: Filesystem has no such string

Hi,

I have the exact same problem with one of my repositories.

At one point, almost a year ago with svn version 0.15 or 0.17 - can't remember now - the repository got stuck, unuseable.

I can't remember if I could dump it then, but I ended up (I think on advice of one of the list members) dumping the database using the db tools, and reloading the tables using the db tools.

That didn't help.

But when I upgraded SVN to a later version, perhaps 0.19, the repos. started to work again and I didn't really bother. I also didn't work on that repos anymore.
But now with the updated fs-schema I wanted to dump it and got this exact same error - on revision 0 already. And I think it points to string '1'. When I specify a revision number on the commandline to svnadmin dump, it's always that rev.nr + 1 I believe.

I didn't bother posting then, since the repos isn't that interesting to me anymore and it's a long time ago since stuff went bad with it.
I do vaguely remember that from the moment it went bad, it was not dumpable with svnadmin dump.

Regards,

--Tim

Means something is wrong with your repository. Some node has a
properties or contents key that points to nothingness. Any
interesting usage patterns or historical events in the life of your
repository we should know about?
