Hi all,

I've been trying to do a conversion of a fairly large VSS database 
(1.67GB). After running analyze, and using the nightly build 20070310, I 
got 2 occurrences of this sort of error:

vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv

ssphys: reverse delta: failed to read necessary amount of data from input 
file
Try `ssphys --help` for more information
ERROR -- FAILED with non-zero exit status 255 (cmd: "ssphys" get -b -v20 
--force-overwrite -ewindows-1252 "..\VSS\SubVersion/data/B/BPWHAAAA" 
E:\_vss2svn/vssdata/BP/BPWHAAAA)
at vss2svn.pl line 1128

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^



Running with --verbose and --debug, all I got in the stdout stream that 
looked related was:

vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv


IMPORTSVN:

at vss2svn.pl line 1128

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^



The debug output is 140MB, so it is hard to know what else to look for :-)

When I try to load the dumpfile into subversion, I finally get the 
following on stderr:

vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv

svnadmin: File not found: transaction '20678-1', path 
'orphaned/_YEDAAAAA/S01/InstallShield/WebGate/Setup Files/Uncompressed 
Files/Language Independent/OS Independent/setup.bmp'

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^



svnadmin load then terminates. The stdout for the load command finishes 
with:

vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^



This definitely well short of the number of revisions that should be 
present - here is the final output from the conversion process:

vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^



The dumpfile produced is about 11GB. Am I hitting some limitation in 
ssphys/vss2svn ? Any ideas on what else I could try ?

Thanks.
