failed to convert bdb to fsfs
Hi All,
We have a big svn repository (containing over 18000 revisions). We want
to convert it from bdb to fsfs. Because recently we found that this
repository needs to be recovered too often (almost every morning). And
fsfs seems save a lot of space.
But we failed. "svnadmin load" on a certain revision, and it can be
reproduced. The failed revision is the same every time we tried.
svnadmin gave no error message, if I recalled correctly.
Now we have another reason to convert. Today, after serval times of
sudden power off, the repository is corrupted and cannot be recovered.
We need to restore to some backup - thank god we backup every day.
Gilbert

Hi v4r4n,
I am sorry I duplicated this email using different email account(as
this one I am using now) in this mailing list. Some people has already
been discussing with me in another thread with the same title.
I duplicated this info by a mistake. Please discuss in the other thread.
To your question:
I am not sure the exact size of the revision. But this are some clues:
The total size of the repos is 3.5 G in bdb format. The dumpfile from
the beginning revision to the revision right before the failed one,
its size is 1G, the rest of the dumpfile's size is 3G.
I don't know what is the max file size limit of FSFS revision. But I
guess this revision should not reach that limit.
For other information, please follow the other thread. Sorry for this mess.
Gilbert

Has anyone helped you with this yet?
Do you know how much 'space' this revision takes up on your hard
drive? If I'm not mistaken, there is still a max file size limit to
FSFS revisions?
