It sounds like integration with ADS authentication is an externally
forced requirement, but I just had to ask, do you really have to use
ADS? I'm using an LDAP2/Samba3 on a SuSE Enterprise Linux server to
run my entire Windows Domain, without any issues. My svn/Apache
install authenticates directly against the LDAP database, rather than
having any NTLM muck in between. All my domain services, and
Subversion, are much faster than the Windows 2003 boxes I used in the
past.
Also, Nathan Kidd mentioned this, but I wanted to relate my
experience... NEVER browse the svn repository revs folder on a Windows
install, with M$ File Explorer. When the number of files and folders 1
level deep under a single folder exceeds about 512, any NTFS scans in
that folder slow to a crawl. When the file number exceeds about 2K, I
have seen 2K3 servers with 4GB of RAM blue-screen immediately, just by
running "dir *".Browsing the same folders with File Explorer has
frozen the servers completely -- requiring a power cycle to get them
running again. NTFS is horrible with small files, and unusable when
thousands of files of any size all reside in a single folder.
