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: E22: 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.
SVN Merge silently fails when parent directory is unreadable
Hello, I have the problem that I cannot execute any merge operation since the repository owner restricted access rights of some parent folders. The ugly part about this is, that merge silently fails. It just does nothing and pretends that the command was successful. I first discovered this when I tried to do a reverse-merge (undo) of the latest revision I just committed. See the example output below. I added --ignore-ancestry to demonstrate that this is not about a problem in my working copy. Merge just quits, gives no error and the working copy is untouched (empty svn st output). But there is a diff it should apply. Entering the same revision to diff shows a valid patch. D:\sourcesvn merge -c -192211 --ignore-ancestry -v . --- Merging D:\sourceecho %ERRORLEVEL% 0 D:\sourcesvn st D:\source svn diff -c -192211 . Index: SomeFile.cpp === --- SomeFile.cpp(revision 192211) +++ SomeFile.cpp(revision 192210) @@ -3854,17 +3854,32 @@ [...] I even checked the mergeinfos for that folder to be sure there is nothing marked as already merged. There was nothing interesting in the output: svn propget svn:mergeinfo --show-inherited-props On a colleagues machine who still had full access rights, the operation succeeded - applying the changes from the diff as expected. So my conclusion so far is, that merge fails since access to a parent directory in the repo is restricted. See the following description of the rights situation: /repo-root = forbidden /repo-root/source = allowed I have the following questions: * Is it by design, that merge cannot cope with read-restricted parent directories? Or should this work? * Is it a bug, that it simply quits without doing anything? I had expected at least an error message that the operation failed. Best Regards Ruben
AW: SVN Merge silently fails when parent directory is unreadable
Hello, I just want to add, that we now found a solution by allowing read access to the repository root for all users. This helps to get the merge command back on track, it correctly applies the expected diffs to the WC. It seems to have no problem with the fact that the directories on the second level still have access restrictions. Situation now: /repo-root = allowed /repo-root/branches = forbidden /repo-root/branches/source = allowed Best Regards Ruben -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: Stein, Ruben [mailto:ruben.st...@mevis.fraunhofer.de] Gesendet: Mittwoch, 25.

Please choose the mirror closest to you by visiting: http://subversion.apache.org/download/#pre-releases For whoever is interested in testing this on Windows. The SlikSvn builds of 1.9.0-beta1 are now available as: https://sliksvn.com/pub/Slik-Subversion-1.9.0-beta1-win32.msi (x86 version) https://sliksvn.com/pub/Slik-Subversion-1.9.0-beta1-x64.msi (x86_x64 version) (as usual full debug symbols are available in the https://sliksvn.com/pub/symbols/ directory) Installing these miss will automatically upgrade your previous version of SlikSvn to this version. To avoid an installer error on downgrading back to 1.8.x *) manually deinstall this version from the Software control panel, before (re)installing the older version. Bert *) The problem is just that setup fails because it can't install with a newer version installed.
