svn: Can't read length line in file xyz
I get the below error while checking out, or while I
am doing update operations.
svnadmin verify and dump also gives the same error.
"svn: Can't read length line in file
'/data/repo/db/revs/94"
It seems all my earlier backups which I used to
perform using hotbackup scripts are also of no use
because it also gives exact same error.
Can anybody tell me how I can fix this problem?
Appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Ranjit_iic

This error indicates that something has corrupted the file. You can
information about the storage format at:
<http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/subversion/libsvn_fs_fs/structure>
That may help you to repair the file as to make things complete, but may also
introduce corrupted data.

One piece of advice I tell everyone when they setup their repository, is to at
least run 'svnadmin verify' over it every night. That will ensure things
like this don't go unnoticed for a long period of time.

If you post the file somewhere and shoot me a private email about where to
find it, I'll take a look at the file. Otherwise, you can try fixing the
file structure yourself with the information in link above.
