Annoyingly, the underlying database library (Berkeley DB) provides no
feedback during recovery.
I suggest you do the following:
1. Make *absolutely sure* that no processes are accessing the repository.
It's probably best to rename the repository, so that no-one else but you can
find it during recovery.
2. Change to the db subdirectory of the repository.
3. Run "db_recover".
4. In another terminal, run "lsof | fgrep log.". The recovery process
usually has 2 log files open, the one currently being processed, and the
latest one. You can monitor recovery progress by watching the
currently-processed logfile move closer to the latest.
Max.
