SVN and 7GB files

["Ellinghaus, Lance" <la...@eds.com>]

Hello all!
We are running SVN (version 1.1.2 r12471) under Solaris 8 and just found
a problem and wanted to see if anyone else has seen it.

We have been using svn for about 8 months now and have been very happy
with it.

Someone today had a local working directory that was empty and placed a
7GB file in that directory.
When they tried to do a 'svn update -u' it would fail.
They were given the following error message when they tried to run that
command:


svn: Can't read directory 'Parent_Dir_Name': Partial results are valid
but processing is incomplete


Has anyone else seen this?
Is this a bug that was fixed in a newer version?

Thank you,
lance

Can you give us the exact reproduction recipe, please?  A transcript
would be perfect.  I can't tell from the above if the 7G file was 
'svn add'ed or not, for example.

Can Apache handle a file > 2Gb?  

I remember having problems trying to serve a DVD iso though Apache not
too long ago.  I think the problem was with APR so svn probably has the
same problem and your version is a little dated.

A quick search turned this up:

But it wasn't checked into the repository or scheduled to be checked in.
It was just sitting in the working copy?

update -u hmmmm.  This might be a good time to upgrade apr and svn.  Be
sure to try the flag given in that post if you want to include large
files in your repository.
