Repository data integrity problem: continued

regarding my last straw mentioned in the previous mail:

    [d:\develop\stempel wolf\temp]svnadmin dump P:\DevRep > DevRepDump
    * Dumped revision 0.
    svn: Filesystem has no such node-rev-id
    svn: reference to non-existent node `o.0.1' in filesystem `P:/DevRep/db'

So restoring the repository via the dump won't be an option...

Why shouldn't it come as a surprise? I remember reading somewhere something
about problems with NFS drives,
although I seem not be able to find that in the subversion documentation
(book.pdf). I don't know where I read that...

I searched for "NFS", "SMB", "network drive", and even "shared" and couldn't
find anything mentioned about problems with shared drives on Windows.

So is there a problem with SMB shares and why?

Regards,

Bernd

The "P:" might be a good hint.  If that is a network drive, then the
repository corruption should come as no surprise.

Ah, now I know again where I read the NFS thing problem...

Although, as I am working alone, I don't think there was simultaneous access
to the repository.
But I can't be a 100% certain...

Alas, I will refrain from accessing the repository via the networked "p:"
drive and will use Apache WebDAV instead.

Maybe the documentation should warn people off using a networked drive for
the repository...


Well, thanks for the hint!

Bernd

Yeah, there sure could.  Berkeley is known to have issues on networked
drives.   (Digging up the URL now...)

(Ah, there it is!).

I can probably recover any non-damaged portions of your repository.
Send me a URL to a tarball I can snatch.

But, of course, I'd really like to know what the heck happened to the
repository.
