win98 problem: another process has locked a portion of the file
Hello,
in order to fix the error about not being able to obtain a UID on win98 I'm
trying to follow the FAQ's recipe
svn co --username user http://server/repository
However I have a problem:
after creating an empty directory svn on my F: partition, I did
F:\svn>svnadmin create f:\svn\rep
which seemed to be doing OK, followed by
F:\svn>svn co --username roger file:///svn/rep
resulting in this error message:
svn: Couldn't open a repository.
svn: Unable to open an ra_local session to URL
svn: Unable to open repository 'file:///svn/rep'
svn: The process cannot access the file because another process has locked
a po
rtion of the file.
svn: get_repos: shared db lock on repository `/svn/rep' failed
and including the F:\ in the path (which I shouldn't as I understood from
part C in The Definitive Guide) gives
F:\svn>svn co --username roger file:///f:/svn/rep
svn: Obstructed update
svn: 'rep' is already a working copy for a different url
Funny (at least, to me), is when I reverse these commands, the error
messages are not reversed:
F:\svn>svnadmin create aaa
F:\svn>svn co --username roger file:///f:/svn/aaa
svn: Couldn't open a repository.
svn: Unable to open an ra_local session to URL
svn: Unable to open repository 'file:///f:/svn/aaa'
svn: The process cannot access the file because another process has locked
a po
rtion of the file.
svn: get_repos: shared db lock on repository `f:/svn/aaa' failed
F:\svn>svn co --username roger file:///svn/aaa
svn: Obstructed update
svn: 'aaa' is already a working copy for a different url
Is there some help for me?
Thanks in advance,
Roger

Possibly. But I'm betting it's non-trivial. Consider (at least)
Windows 2000? :-)

Michael, C. Michael,
Thanks for explaining my problem.
However, from
http://www.sleepycat.com/docs/ref/build_win/notes.html
I understand (ignorant as I am) that a standalone database (i.e. for a
single user) could be possible.
But I may be fooled and not realizing the amount of work it takes to do
such a thing.
I'd better migrate to linux...
Best regards,
Roger

Correct on both points.

AFAIK Berkeley DB does not work on Win9x. Also, if F: corresponds to a
network filesystem that could cause problems too, since Berkeley DB is
known not to work on certain network filesystems.

There should be no problem with including the drive letter.

This error is different because the first attempted checkout created a
partial working copy that the second one is choking on.

This is because of the partial working copy mentioned above. If you
remove it after every failed checkout attempt you should get the same
error every time.

Only if you use a different operating system or if you have the
repository on a machine running WinNT/2k/XP or a form of Unix and access
it via http://blah or svn://blah.
