Working Copy on SMB/CIFS mounted network shares on [OS X Lion, Subversion 1.7.x]

[David Herges <da...@googlemail.com>]

Hello,

I can 9-out-of-10 replicate this behaviour when doing the following:

1.) Mount a (windows-hosted) network share as SMB/CIFS on my OS X Lion
2.) Check out a working copy on the mounted share

If there is sufficient amount of data in the repo, the checkout will fail at some (random?) stage with an error message like this:

  The SQLite db is busy
svn: database is locked, executing statement 'RELEASE   s893'


Though the 's###' may differ, this happens with subversion clients >= 1.7.x, both 'native' clients (built from MacPorts), and SVNKit implementations using Eclipse. It does not happen with subversion clients <= 1.6.x.

Detailed system information is attached.


Regards,
David Herges

Don't do that. Keep working copies on local disks.
