Good suggestion, I will have to implement that process in the future.
I am still concerned that if we had to rebuild from backups and could not
implement your suggestion that it would take days to restore our repository
and get everyone back to work. I would really like to know if the problem I
am seeing on the FSFS type is fsync related and if it is can fsync be
disabled for FSFS when loading a repository through svnadmin.
Anybody else?

Not sure if there's a way to speed this up, but to try to avert your
lynching, I think you could safely allow the engineers to continue working
on the old 1.3.2 repository while the dump proceeds. You can then load this
into a new 1.4 repository at your leisure. Once it's done, then you can kick
everybody out of the old repository, do an incremental dump of any revisions
created since your initial dump, load that into the new repository, point
the server at the new repository, and get back to work.
