svn fails to import a project to a cifs-mounted repository
Hi,
I'd be grateful if someone can reproduce or confirm this bug.
I am trying to create and use a repository on a shared disk in our company.
I am using FC 6, and the rest of the company use Windows.
The shared disk is a Windows shared NTFS partition, that I mount using cifs.
Here is the line from /etc/fstab:
//miragesrv/applic /mnt/applic cifs
user=yuvala,password=*****,uid=500,gid=500
,workgroup=MIRAGE 1 2
Problem:
==========
I can read/write/create/delete files/directories on this partition.
I can also easily create a repository:
svnadmin create /mnt/applic/repo
However, when I try to import a project, I get:
fresnel:wc > svn import /tmp/proj/ file:///mnt/applic/repo/ -m "initial
import"
Adding /tmp/proj/trunk
Adding /tmp/proj/trunk/Tolerances
Adding /tmp/proj/trunk/Tolerances/get_fun_ranges.m
svn: Can't unlock prototype revision lockfile for transaction '0-1':
Permission denied
Analysis:
==========
Repeating the same steps on a local folder, finished successfully. So it is a
file system issue.
I compared the two directories; that is on the cifs (/mnt/applic/repo) and the
local one. It seems that the following directory is the problematic one:
fresnel:wc > ls -Rlt /mnt/applic/repo/db/transactions/
/mnt/applic/repo/db/transactions/:
total 0
drwxrwxrwx 1 aviel aviel 0 Nov 28 12:54 0-1.txn
/mnt/applic/repo/db/transactions/0-1.txn:
total 0
This directory does not exist in the local repository, so I assume it holds
info of the transaction being made.
Presumably, svn fails to delete/change this directory, even though all
permissions and ownership are OK. I can confirm this by manually removing
this directory.
Any suggestions?
svn 1.4.2, (FC 6 with a cifs mounted NTFS partition from a Windows Server )

Don't know for 1.4.0, but with 1.3.2 we have no such problems.

I opened an issue with two straces; one of the 'svn import' and the other of
the following (successful) 'rmdir /.../0-1.txn.

I can't imagine why we'd get a permission denied error while trying to
unlock a file we've just locked. Note that while this is new code for
1.4.2, we do the same file operations to manage locking for the fs-wide
write-lock, so it should work just the same.
Did 1.4.0 work okay?

That's right. Strange that it's empty, since I would have expected that
it'd either have files in it (such as the prototype revision lockfile,
for one), or it'd have been deleted completely. It's probable that we
encountered another error when trying to clean up the transaction
directory, so we left it alone.

That might give us a clue as to whether the problem is happening at the
local or remote end. To save the bandwidth of everyone on this list,
could you open a new issue and upload the strace output as an
attachment?
