Svn repository (berkely) has "really" crashed, input on how to recover?

Hi

I have a svn repository (0.36.0-8282) that has crashed. Doing a "svnadmin 
recover" apparently fixed the problem. However, if I then try to dump the 
repository (or do checkout, commit etc..) the repository instantly crashes 
again. So I guess someting is really messed up in the db structure and that 
"recover" is unable to fix.

Since I am unable to dump the repository, I am also unable to upgrade it. 

So, does anyone have some input on what to try in order to get the repository 
back online again (except using a previous backup) ? 

Best regards,
Vidar

Hi

Some more information....
I browsed through the mail archive and so that maybe dumping the data with 
db_dump might help... 
dumping changes, copies and nodes worked just fine. However, transactions 
didn't....
$ db_dump -f representations.01 representations
db_dump: page 368987: illegal page type or format
db_dump: PANIC: Invalid argument
db_dump: DB->stat: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery
db_dump: close: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery
db_dump: dbenv->close: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery

Anyone have any other ideas what to try ?



Best regards,
Vidar
