Hello:
Somehow our repository is getting corrupted intermittently in such a
way that "svnadmin recover" cannot fix the problem. I seem to be able
to get everything back by dumping the database and creating a new
database with the dump file.
The server is svn+ssh on an OS X box. All three of the times the
database has become corrupted it was found by a particular user. The
server is 1.0.0 ( The most up to date fink package; I'll compile from
the source if I have reason to believe it's a bug and not a
configuration problem. )
The sun client is the latest version. The clients are two macs running
the 1.0.0 client, a couple windows machines running the latest
tortoiseSVN, and a sun workstation with solaris 9. The user that
discovered the problems was at first using an ibook to communicate with
the repository while editing with a sun. Now that he has the solaris
svn client installed he's using that exclusively.
For some reason I had to set the permissions of the entire repository
to 777 to get things working. I checked again in a corrupted database,
and except for one log file, everything is still set to 777.
The svnserve.conf file has everything commented out; I haven't made any
changes.
Anyone know what the problems is? I'm still digging through old posts,
rereading the documentation, etc... but if anyone already knows what is
wrong, a tip would be much appreciated.
thanks,
Drew
Here is a transcript of what I've been doing to recover the database.
veronese:/usr/local awagner$ svnadmin recover svn_repository
Please wait; recovering the repository may take some time...
