Repos corruption questions
Hi All,
We've been using svn for a while now. We had a db corruption early on,
but it's been working fine for months. Yesterday, we started getting
this when trying to do anything with the repository:
legolas:src> svn update
svn: RA layer request failed
svn: PROPFIND request failed on '/tank1/dev/src'
svn: PROPFIND of '/tank1/dev/src': 500 Internal Server Error
When I try dumping the repository using 'svnadmin dump', I get this
error at one of our more recent (maybe the most recent) revisions:
subversion/libsvn_fs/err.c:188: (apr_err=160007)
svn: Invalid filesystem transaction name
svn: no transaction named `fr' in filesystem
`svn_repository_bogus/db'
What does this mean? Any ideas as to what caused it?
I went ahead and built a fresh repository using the dump. The
repository seems to all be there up to the revision that caused the
above error...sort of. I can browse around in HEAD using my browser
(we're serving via Apache), but when I try do a 'checkout', I don't get
anything. svn just reports "Checked out revision 270" but no files or
subdirs come down.
Can anyone tell me what's going on here?
Thanks much for any help!

People have experienced this problem when the client was much older than
the server. Please make sure your client and server are at most one
version apart. (e.g. client=0.29.0, server=0.30.0)
Hope that helps :)

Well, it literally means that there was no Subversion transaction
record present in the database with the key 'fr'. Unfortunately, the
cause of such a problem is impossible to discern without more data.
You say that all of a sudden you started seeing these PROPFIND
problems -- have your repository access patterns changed at all? Did
someone suffer some other type of failure that set this off? Do the
Apache logs yield interesting info? Was someone naughty and ran
'svnadmin recover' on the database while it was still in use? Can you
bypass the bogus revision with 'svnadmin dump' (for example, if the
dump always fails at revision 92, can you run 'svnadmin dump
--incremental -r93:HEAD /path/to/repos')?

That looks very similar to what I got a few days ago from two
repositories here, just that line three stated "could not connect to
server". A svnadmin recover helped for a few repos accesses, then
it started over again. Did not try a dump, but reconstructed a new
repos from working copies, considering the old repos being lost.
Only thing I can see so far is that removing the unused logfiles may
have been involved. (see thread "repos not accessible after log
files removed"; system: Win2000, SVN .27)
