question regarding shared locks on Files in NFS mounts

["Jaya Gopalakrishnan (jgopalak)" <jg...@cisco.com>]

Hi All,

  We are trying to use NFS/NAS for storing our SVN repositories. But
when I tried to run the SVN commands on the repositories which are in
NFS, I get the following errors. The same thing works great if it is in
any other location other than NFS mounted directories.

 

The command that I tried to run :

opt/CollabNet_Subversion/bin/svnadmin hotcopy
/mvn-repo/svn/repositories/cisco.repo /tmp/18794/cisco.repo

 

The error that I am getting:

svnadmin: Can't get shared lock on file
'/mvn-repo/svn/repositories/cisco.repo/locks/db-logs.lock': No locks
available

 

I found some solutions on the mailer list from the earlier posting..

"...changed the NFS mount option from default to 
"hard,intr,bg,nolock,rw" and remount the nfs directory to my local mount

point." 

 

Any suggestion/solution on the above problem...? 

 

Thanks and Regards,

Jaya
