For what it's worth,
I've been using BDB from October 04, have upgraded SVN along the way, with
about 7 different repos. No problems till this 1.2.0 upgrade.
I've been working out an issue with a 4.54 GB Art repo in another tread,
migrating from SVN 1.1.4 to SVN 1.2.0, which for me was also a change from
BDB 4.2 to DBD 4.3
I followed the steps in the FAQ, and was unsuccessful in running longer the
15~25 revisions before crashing on me. The svnadmin recover did not work as
it usually would. I even tried *db_recover.exe -c -v* out of desperation,
but with no different result.
FAQ: After upgrading to Berkeley DB 4.3, I'm seeing repository errors.
http://subversion.tigris.org/faq.html#bdb43-upgrade
When I tried to restore my backup, created during the FAQ, it caused
SVNADMIN to crash (around rev 200) when I tried restoring to a new BDB 4.3
I was successful in restoring my backup to FSFS ( total of 845 revisions )
I'll post back and let you know if I make it past revision 30 or so
revisions, which shouldn't take us that long to do.
And the size is now 3.18 GB (not sure if that has something to do with dump
and load from svnadmin or not)
Will I switch my other 6 repos, not if I don't have to, but stability means
everything, so I guess so unless there is a resolution I've overlooked or
has not been documented yet.
Cheers,
