Hi -
I don't have any repository back ups, ive been testing out subversion for a
few weeks. However because ive been testing it there is no critial work on
there, and all my source code is backed up on my machine.
What sort of situations would cause the database to fail like this?
Running the recover exe produced this out put
db_recover: DB_LOGC->get: LSN 434/1013986: invalid log record header
db_recover: PANIC: Input/output error
db_recover: PANIC: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery
db_recover: DB_ENV->open: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery
Any thoughts?
