recovering a corrupt repository
Earlier I sent a message out with a problem of a corrupted repository.
I have since created a fresh repository because we need to continue
development and I don't know how long it will be before I can fix it.
What are some things I can try to recover the db? The error message I
got was:
svn: Berkeley DB error while checkpointing after Berkeley DB transaction
for filesystem /svn/repository/db:
Invalid argument
svn: bdb: DB_ENV->log_flush: LSN of 2699/250148 past current end-of-log
of 2699/
214302
svn: bdb: Database environment corrupt; the wrong log files may have
been remove
d or incompatible database files imported from another environment
svn: bdb: strings: unable to flush page: 0
svn: bdb: txn_checkpoint: failed to flush the buffer cache Invalid argument
no matter what command I run on the repository I get that error
message. I am running svn 1.1.2 on Windows 2000 Server. I get this
when using command line locally as well as remotely through apache webDAV.
I really don't want to lost our 260 revisions of history. Any Ideas?
TIA,
-Ben

HAVING MADE A BACKUP of the repository as-is, you might try this recipe:
rm log.* __db.*
for i in *s; do mv ${i} ${i}-old && db_dump ${i}-old | db_load ${i}; done
svnadmin recover ..
