Error while using hotbackup.py
Dear Group!
The following is the details of my configuration:
OS: Fedora Core 3. - updated using yum to the latest version
Subversion : 1.1.4 (r13838)
The problem is that when I try to run the hotbackup.py script it
terminates with an error stating that the file
/home/svnuser/projects/medcare/db/strings -- is too large. The size of
the file is 2.2.GB. Now how do I get to reduce the size of this file to
below 2G to get a proper backup before I try to upgrade SVN and apr?
Your immediate response is verymuch appreciated.
Thanking you,
Shan.

It would be interesting which filesystem you are using that 2.2 GB is "too
large". Maybe switching to a proper fs will help you with this? Anyway,
another thing is: are you using FSFS or BDB for your repository?
Another way of backing up the repository *should* be: make sure that NO
process is touching it and just do a plain copy with your OSes copy command
or tar it or anything like that (anyone speak up if this will not work for
some reason, I never made this myself).
