File Size exceeded
Hi,
I tried to import my project into the repository using the command
svn import BOSS file:///subversion/BOSS -m "Initial Import"
It stopped importing with a message "File Size Exceeded".
My BOSS folder size is nearly 16 GB. And In my system I am having 43 GB space left. Then why I that message is displayed?
Any Clues Please??
Regards
Indraveni K

I've had this problem before, what I ended up doing, is breaking the
import into smaller chunks, one big import then just added in
directories after that until I got everything to import.
hth,

Because the filesystem you're using doesn't allow a single file to be that big
(around 16GB)... don't know where the limit is since I don't know what
filesystem you're using, but a lot of filesystems don't allow files bigger
than 2 GB, AFAIK.
The problem here is that SubVersion stores revision changes in a single file.
So if you do an import of 16GB, SubVersion tries to generate a file with
about 16 GB in it.
You might work around the problem by importing a small part (<2GB) and then
add new data, <2GB a time.
The alternative would be to reformat your partition with a filesystem that
allows bigger file sizes, but I think that's too much effort ;-)

How does this question differ from the "File too large" error you
posted about almost a day ago?
bye,
Erik.
