I had repeated wedging over a year, installed a brand new server, all
with debian packages (from what I remember), and the wedging continued
(after a week or so) on the fresh install.
The only possible reasons for the wedging that I could think of.
- issue with prebuilt packages (apr/bdb/subversion etc.) being slightly
incompatible, maybe they where compiled with different gcc/version/flags
etc.
- poor fault recovery in bdb? - If something goes foobar in fsfs, it is
usually a very simple filesystem call failure, (where as there are
potentially mulitple points of failure in bdb)
- disk getting full (on old server) - causing all sorts of havoc..
It may be that some minor issue in the setup I have caused bdb wedging
(like the copy on commit scripts), but the design of fsfs, appears to be
alot more fault tolerant the bdb.

Alan
