RE: File corruption issue

Hi,

Subversion and all of the libraries it use don't have this error message on
board, so they can only generate it via the OS layer.

The quoted error text is the exact error message of the windows error
message 'ERROR_FILE_CORRUPT', that says that the filesystem is corrupted.

So you really should check the filesystem, in this case the virtual. But in
my experience even virtual filesystems normally don't break at random.

In this case it might also be that the host system has a read error that is
has to transfer to the virtual system.

(In this case I would also verify the host filesystem to make sure you don't
have a real hardware failure at hand. better safe than sorry).

From WinError.h

//

// MessageId: ERROR_FILE_CORRUPT

//

// MessageText:

//

// The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable.

//

#define ERROR_FILE_CORRUPT 1392L

We only get this error with Subversion and not any other programs in
windows. Also we are running windows in a VM so changing the hard drive is
a bit more involved.

                Hi,

This error sounds like a Windows error, not something Subversion specific.

I think you should check the harddisk for errors (and maybe replace the
harddisk if you find more than a few errors or when the SMART status says
you should replace it).

(The lock file is actually a 0 bytes file that is used for synchronization
of multiple clients)

Good moring,

Some of our developers have been getting the following error for a few days
every time they try to update the code,

Error: Can't open file
'E:\websites\qa\scripts\extjs\1.1\package\dialog\.svn\lock':

Error: The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable.

This happens with the use of TortoiseSVN or the svn command line client.

Has anyone seen this and if so what is the fix for it. I should mention
that svn clean does not work with this. The only way I have found to take
care if it is to remove the directory, reboot the system and then try to
remove the remnants and then do another checkout.

Thanks
