Large strings, problems has not been occurred, but worried.
I have converted my cvs repository to svn like this environment.
I wonder if this is off topic, but I can't find any clear words.
* CVS ROOT : Total size: 1.4 GB
* SVN ROOT : Total size: 4.7 GB
* SVN Revision: 10795
Most of all repos/db/strings file is the largest file.
-rw-rw-r-- 1 pynoos users 1706426368 May 7 10:27 strings
1 GB!..
What is the suggestion for avoing file corruption or differention backup
repository easily ?
I have just one repository containing 19 sub-modules (from cvs root).
Shall I split my projects into each own repositories?

Use "svndamin list-unused-dblogs" to get a list of log files that you
can safely remove.

Why? What platform are you using?

The only way is to split your repository into smaller pieces. But
Berkeley DB can handle very large repositories easily, so this shouldn't
be a problem.
You can make incremental backups with "svnadmin dump --incremental", and
hot backups with "svnadmin hotcopy". Or use "svnadmin hotcopy
--clean-logs" to create a backup of the repository and remove unused log
files at the same time.

Yes, I haven't clean up logfiles...
Is the db/log* files are useless after successful commit?
Can I delete it without backing up?
Although the log files are able to be deleted easily, the large
strings files are thought to be dangerous.
Is there any recommends to avoid such a large file?

Why is your SVN repository 4.7 GB? The strings table is 1.7 GB, but
where's the other 3 GB? Do you have a bunch of logfiles lying around
that you haven't cleaned up?
