How large can a subversion repository be?
Thanks,
Stacy
We are getting ready to set subversion up. We have around 400 GB of
data currently. I can easily see this data going to about double (800
GB). What is the max size of a repository?
Thanks,
Stacy Knutson

I'm not 100% sure but I think it works like this:
If you're using the FSFS backend (which is the default) then the maximum size
of the repository and the maximum size of a revision depend on the filesystem
on which the repository is stored. So you need to find out the maximum size
the filesystem can handle (which would be the maximum size of your
repository) and the maximum size of a single file (which would be the maximum
size for a single commit; mind you, that's not that maximum size of all the
files in that revision, but the maximum size of the *differences*).
So if you run into any limitations here, you "just" need to switch the
filesystem.
Bye,
Marc

The data we have is primarily tests for our products. We only change
about 50 files per day across 8 different developer locations. From the
information I found on subversion, it is supposed to handle many small
files without any problems especially with the remote sites. I was
thinking that we would need to connect multiple repositories to get all
the needed data.
Thanks,
Stacy

Are you sure you have the right screwdriver for this walnut?
