Re: [Bulk] Any solution to "chunk delimiter was invalid" problem?

Here are some details as I worked with this issue:

 - Chunk delimiter error after 31.8MB of a 101MB Revision 1
(non-incremental).

 - Used dump/load to transfer Rev 1 to mirror. Paths added.

 - svnsync then quickly committed revisions 2-13 (4K), then 14 (21M).

 - Chunk delimiter error near the end of 24MB Revision 15.

 - Used incremental dump/load to transfer Rev 15 to mirror. Paths added.

 - svnsync committed Revs 16-133 (231M, largest revision was 7.3MB).

 - Chunk delimiter error near the end of 105MB Revision 134.

 - Used incremental dump/load to transfer Rev 134 to mirror. Paths added.

 - svnsync committed Revs 135-142 (48M, largest revision 6.6MB).

 - Chunk delimiter error near the end of 290MB Revision 143.

So far, the problem occurs when a single revision is larger than 21MB or
so. This really looks like some sort of error in protocol when
transferring contents of a large revision. Watching the system monitor,
I see the high-rate flow of data stop and some small exchanges of data
every 20 seconds or so: <100 bytes in, <100 bytes out, occasionally
about 4K bytes in. This continues for about a minute before the chunk
delimiter error occurs and svnsync terminates.

I hope this helps.
