I have a problem where Subversion 1.6 doesn't work properly when I mount repositories over a cifs share. This used to work with subversion 1.4 and 1.5. The only thing I can see that may have changed is the usage of SQLite, which I believe has problems running over a share. When I mount the share with the nobrl option (no byte-range locking) it seems to work. (Otherwise subversion claims that the "database is locked")
My question is a two parter. Firstly, is it possible to get subversion 1.6 working with a cifs share without disabling byte range locking. Otherwise, if I do disable byte range locking. Is this dangerous? I.e., is there a possibility of corrupting repositories? Thanks for your help. Donny.
