Hi All,

We are getting an error while committing changes to subversion.

Error Says:
Commit Failed
Berkeley DB error while opening enviroment for filesystem
E:/star/repos/db:
DB_RUNRECOVERY:
Fatal error, run database recovery
bdb

ANIC: fatal region error detected; run recovery

If you have any idea about the possible causes of such error and the way to resolve it,

Kindly get back ASAP.

Uh-oh.

Grab your Subversion manual. The one published on the tigris.org website.

While you can use Berkley Sleepycat as the backing store for a Subversion repository, it's a perilous thing to do. The docs explain why, and I think they'll also help you recover. Though, since this is a fairly common problem the first thing I recommend you do after recovery is migrate the repository to a more suitable data storage system.

The secret of how to be miserable is to constantly expect things are going to happen the way that they are "supposed" to happen.

You can have faith, which carries the understanding that you may be disappointed. Then there's being a willfully-blind idiot, which virtually guarantees it.

With a little knowledge, a cast iron skillet is non-stick and lasts a lifetime.
