no transaction named `ad' in filesystem

[Jürgen Mangler <ju...@univie.ac.at>]

Hi all,

I managed to do the same that is mentioned on contactor.se in
archive-2003-05/0452.shtml. (found via google)

If it is of any help for you i got a clear idea what i have done. I
commited a file to the repository on a mounted nfs share and at the
same time on the physical machine via "svn commit file://......".

I can also send you the repository and the checked out version where 
everything happend - if this is of debugging use for you.

Btw, is ther a way to get rid of this error - repair the repository? 
(It's not so important though, i can still cat older version, only 
ci/update/... fails)

(I hope this isn't the wrong list)
thanks for your help and your great work

Jürgen

Stop the presses.  Your berkeleyDB repository isn't being accessed via
file:/// over NFS, is it?

If so, all bets are off.  Your repository is probably corrupted.  There
are warnings plastered *everywhere* saying not to do this.

If you must use NFS, then upgrade to svn 1.1-rc3 and create a new 'fsfs'
style repository, which doesn't use berkeleyDB.  Use 'svnadmin
dump/load' to migrate your data from one repos to another.
