Hello! occasionally (about every other day?) a subversion command fails, a common pattern are disk I/O failures "executing statement 'RELEASE' and then different numbers.
A svn cleanup failed three times in a row to succeed on the fouth time (which led to my post on the TortoiseSVN mailing list quoted below). (remark: this is TortoiseSVN 1.7.6, Build 22632 - 32 Bit , 2012/03/08 18:29:39 Subversion 1.7.4 on Windows XP (32bit) and they told me to go to this list) This post http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=4061&dsMessageId=2908568 and http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=4061&dsMessageId=2943882 and this http://svn.haxx.se/tsvnusers/archive-2012-01/0033.shtml suggest that maybe there is a race between the SQLite kernel and the virus scanner when SQLite closes its journal to create it again immediately. Turning off the virus scanner is no option in my company. I can do that (maybe) to verify that this is the cause, but not for production use. Now I'd like to know what exactly went wrong, when such an "disk I/O error, executing statement 'RELEASE s85'" is reported? What did subversion do, with what result? Where do I look for that information? Would it be possible to circumvent such problems in subversion? What would I have to do to reproduce this disk I/O error without subversion? If I prove this problem with a simple C program, I avoid that our virus department tell me it's SVNs fault.
