svndumpfilter woes

Hello,

I've been trying to move my subversion repository from one PC to another. 
However I stupidly committed lots of binaries to the repo and now it's got 
a bit out of control. My solution was to use svndumpfilter to drop the 
binary files, but this doesn't seem to work for me. It's a problem since 
trying to load the dump in the new repo is failing on some binary files so 
I can't load the repo at all. However I can't see, to get svndumpfilter to 
actually work. This is the syntax I'm using on Windows all of the example 
I've seen so far are on Linux.

svndumpfilter exclude --pattern "*.ncb" < orignal_dmp.fil > filtered_dmp.fil

The files are in there but I just end up with an exact copy of the original 
repo and no console notification of anything being dropped. Am I missing 
something here?

Cheers,
Ian

Hi Bob,

I put my drive in an enclosure and loaded it as you suggested, piping the 
dump straight into the repo on the new machine (it's a laptop so I can't 
just install the drive). It worked without a problem, so something was 
going screwy with the dump file somewhere.

Cheers,
Ian

Hi Bob,

I'm dumping then loading, the reason is I'm moving from one PC to another. 
I could load over the network, but the dump file is nearly 40GB.

Cheers,
Ian

Are you streaming to disk, then loading from disk? You might want to just directly pump the dump stream into the load. Just an idea.

Hi Markus,

Thanks. I ran verify and everything passed. which is good, so I assume it's recoverable somehow. I'm going to try a fresh dump and see if that helps. For now I've loaded the last few revisions which is enough for me to be getting on with until I figure out how to stop svndumpfilter ignoring me.

Ian

If that's the only reason you want to get rid of the files in your
dump, you may provide the error message and fix this error because SVN
should be able to load even large binaries.

May this get translated to /*.ncb only and therefore doesn't get
applied recursively? Maybe you need something like **/*.ncb.

Hi Thorsten , thanks for the response.

My main concern at the moment is just loading the dump file and the errors are preventing that. It would be good to filter out the binaries, but its not a priority just now.
The error I get is a hash checksum failure, and only on binary files:

     * editing path : MyFile.ncb ...svnadmin: E200014: Checksum mismatch for '/MyFile.ncb':
   expected:  ab27603550fc52585bd6e98c6d7d0b6c
     actual:  f52642a0cc3186a7da837569fcde32a1


A re-dump didn't seem to help much. In fact I split up the dumps by revision in a bid to fix the problem, but then I got a failure earlier in the repository around revision 2xx. In fact whatever dump file I take seems to fail to load at some point due to a binary file checksum mismatch, which is pretty frustrating.

Cheers,
Ian

AW: svndumpfilter woes

Posted by Markus Schaber <m....@codesys.com>.
Hi, Ian,

I think that you should try to check / consider two scenarios:

- Repository corruption: Maybe the existing repository contains
  Inconsistent data for some reason. You should try to check
  "svnadmin verify" on the repository, this will find most
  kinds of corruption.

- Hardware failure: The data reading from the harddisk or your
  RAM may be broken, and occasionally flip some bits. This may
  be the case on the existing server, as well as on the
  destination machine.

Hi Thorsten , thanks for the response.

My main concern at the moment is just loading the dump file and the errors are preventing that. It would be good to filter out the binaries, but its not a priority just now.
The error I get is a hash checksum failure, and only on binary files:

     * editing path : MyFile.ncb ...svnadmin: E200014: Checksum mismatch for '/MyFile.ncb':
   expected:  ab27603550fc52585bd6e98c6d7d0b6c
     actual:  f52642a0cc3186a7da837569fcde32a1


A re-dump didn't seem to help much. In fact I split up the dumps by revision in a bid to fix the problem, but then I got a failure earlier in the repository around revision 2xx. In fact whatever dump file I take seems to fail to load at some point due to a binary file checksum mismatch, which is pretty frustrating.

Cheers,
Ian

Hi Thorsten , thanks for the response.

My main concern at the moment is just loading the dump file and the errors 
are preventing that. It would be good to filter out the binaries, but its 
not a priority just now.
The error I get is a hash checksum failure, and only on binary files:

     * editing path : MyFile.ncb ...svnadmin: E200014: Checksum mismatch 
for '/MyFile.ncb':
   expected:  ab27603550fc52585bd6e98c6d7d0b6c
     actual:  f52642a0cc3186a7da837569fcde32a1


A re-dump didn't seem to help much. In fact I split up the dumps by 
revision in a bid to fix the problem, but then I got a failure earlier in 
the repository around revision 2xx. In fact whatever dump file I take seems 
to fail to load at some point due to a binary file checksum mismatch, which 
is pretty frustrating.

Cheers,
Ian

If that's the only reason you want to get rid of the files in your
dump, you may provide the error message and fix this error because SVN
should be able to load even large binaries.

May this get translated to /*.ncb only and therefore doesn't get
applied recursively? Maybe you need something like **/*.ncb.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
