Get your legacy material off BDB and onto FSFS, ASAP. At least make sure
you have *good* backups and are prepared to lose all that data if you
don't. BDB has been, in my experience with much older versions of
Subversion and with years of Linux application experience, prone to data
corruption from unpredictable and unrecoverable userland events and even
the slightest blip of the OS or hardware layer. It has also repeatedly
proven impossible to upgrade existing data sets to new BDB releases in
place. Subversion fortunately has a workable backup system to provide data
transfers: I've seen BDB systems that did not.

BDB has never been my friend.
