The command sequence (as root)
# rm -rf /home-4/subversion
# svnadmin create /home-4/subversion

svn: Berkeley DB error while creating environment for filesystem /home-4/subversion/db:
Invalid argument
I run Fedora Core 2 with all updates on a single-cpu AMD K6 (i385) and
have
# rpm -q subversion db4
subversion-1.0.6-1
db4-4.2.52-3.1
# uname -r
2.6.6-1.435.2.3
(The latter is not the latest kernel, but the latest kernel
(2.6.7-1.494.2.2) failed to mount its initrd alleging "unsupported user
options" and therefore failed to boot.)
I have tried to determine what exactly fails, and have used 'strace'.
The output from strace ends with the following lines which seem to
indicate the error is not a result of a failed system call:
10153 mkdir("/home-4/subversion/db", 0777) = 0
10153 open("/home-4/subversion/db/DB_CONFIG", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT, 0666) = 3

10153 write(3, "# set_flags DB_TXN_NOSYNC\n", 26) = 26

10153 exit_group(1) = ?
I have also tried to use ltrace, but to my surprise it failed to record
any library calls. (The only output was "5144 +++ exited (status 1)
+++").
I have begun looking at the source code, and determined that the error
somehow arises in the call to fs->env->open() (subversion/libsvn_fs/fs.c
line 536), which I think is a call to the db4 library. I will next
acquire the source of the db4 library, but I wanted to ask if this error
is known. I could not find anything in the mail archive.
Regards,
Enrique
