AW: Weird "Corrupt representation / Malformed representation header" Errors on fsfs repo.

Hi,

thank you for your reply. I really appreciate that.
Sadly I found out I can not restore it as the backup via svnadmin dump stops at the corrupted revision...

It seems I am going to do it as follows:
1 creating incremental Dumpfiles leaving the corrupted revisions
2 loading the repo with the dumpfiles (in correct order) into a new repo-space like /srv/svn/repo1_fixed
3 moving the /srv/svn/repo1 to /srv/svn/repo1_corrupt
4 and doing a svnadmin hotcopy /srv/svn/repo1_fixed to /srv/svn/repo1 (and doing chown etc. and using the original authz...)

I've read that moving by "mv" in step 4 instead of that hotcopy might cause trouble... is that right? Otherwise this moving might be a lot faster. Today I measured the svn load of this 77014 revisions and it took 18 hours. :/

Regards,
Felix

Hi, Felix,

you may have some success by restoring just the broken revision files by ones from the backup.

You should replace both files - the one where the verification fails, and the file which is reported to have the malformed header.

Best regards
