I upped the values for set_lk_max_locks, set_lk_max_lockers, and
set_lk_max_objects from the default of 2000 to 5000, but this same
issue happened yet again upon trying to complete another large commit.
There was a slightly different error message this time, but the problem
appears to be basically the same:
/* tail of svn commit error output */
svn: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: Berkeley DB error while reading representation for filesystem
<path_to_repos>/db:
Not enough space
svn: bdb: Lock table is out of available locks
/* end of svn commit error output */
This time, I looked into it a bit more carefully and I don't believe
I'm missing anything in the new revision of the repository, so I think
you are all correct in the assertion that the commit did succeed
completely. So, that means there is at least a problem with svn
giving an incorrect error message, since it did explicitly say "Commit
failed". That is evidently incorrect. Is this a known bug?
The other symptoms of running Berkeley DB out of locks was that
thousands of unused db logs are left in the db sub-directory of the
repository. And, until I run "svn update" for the working copy, "svn
status" after the problem commit incorrectly tells me that my working
copy directory structure is vastly different that that now in the
repository, which is ridiculous since this working copy is precisely
the source whence the current state of the repository in the head
revision came, from this last commit.
Any further thoughts?
Thanks,
Kirk
