svnadmin: E200002: Can't read length line in file '/svn/dumps/speech-repo/db/revs/236

Hi All,

We have a svn repo hosted on windows os of size 90GB.The svn version is 1.4
which is pretty old. Now we have a request to migrate the repo to an
existing repo(running on linux and version 1.8). So we manually copied this
90GB windows hosted repo to a linux qa env. In order to test the migration,
we proceeded with getting dump of the copied repo in linux box. During this
dump process, we are experiencing the "*svnadmin: E200002: Can't read
length line in file '/svn/dumps/sp-repo/db/revs/236*". After doing a search
on the issue i found that the error is due to corruption of repo due to a
hardware failure. I am afraid we do not have a backup copy of the repo to
recover the repository. We laso tried to run *svnadmin recover* on the
copied repo but in vain. We also tried to skip the 236th revision and we
face multiple files not found issues in preceding revisions. I am in a
position where i cant even take the dump file of the repo. Can someone
please let me know how to proceed to fix this issue? Any tools or third
party help will be highly appreciated.

Thanks,
Sunil.
