I could be wrong, but I think when Mariano says "shared partition", he
means "accessible by both Windows and Linux on the same machine", rather
than shared on a network drive.

(So, if I remember rightly, the problem is that the BDB file format isn't
portable between operating systems - though in this case one *may* be able
to get away with running "svnadmin recover" on the repository every time
the OS is switched, it's not recommended). I believe the recommended
solution is to use FSFS (with subversion 1.1).
