Help please newbie question :-(

[Michal Ziv <mi...@secces.com>]

hi,
installed new subversion 1.1.1 from source as root on linux RH AS3.
./configure
make
make install

changed to user svnadmin
and tried to create fsfs repository on nfs directory
with this command: 
svnadmin create --fs-type fsfs /mountpoint/repository

didn't finish for a long time(more then a minute)

killed proccess because seemed it finished but when tried to import to 
repository got this error svn: 
Can't open file '/netapp_mysql/svnrepository/db/uuid': No such file or 
directory

can anyone please say what i did wrong?

thanks 
michal

It wasn't done creating the repository, it was hung waiting for 
/dev/random to return some random data to be used in creating the UUID 
for the repos.  You can probably get it to complete by hiting lots of 
keys on the keyboard while svnadmin create is hung (no, I'm not kidding, 
that'll give /dev/random a chance to grab some entropy from the keyboard 
driver).
