Repair corrupt repository

[Brad Waldon <br...@waldonservices.com>]

Hi

I am looking for expert help in Brisbane, Australia to repair a corrupt repository. Svnadmin verify returns "Decompression of svndiff data failed" at an earlier revision.

We use SVN for document management and don't have the expertise and time internally to resolve.

Regards

Thanks Markus.

The request was posted to the user mailing list as well.

I have lodged a request with WanDisco based on your request. I was having trouble finding commercial support.

The repository is on an Amazon EC2 Instance.

Regards
Brad Waldon

I don't know whether you already got an answer by someone else for this issue.

You did write to the SVN developers list, maybe you get better answers when asking on the users list, or getting in touch with one of the companies which provide commercial support for SVN (for example Elego, Collab.net or WanDisco).

That said, a very plausible explanation for repository corruption is hardware failure. Those may be spurious, or permanent (damaged RAM, defect hard disk sector). So you should investigate that issue, to prevent further problems...
