Hello guys,

we have a strange behavior.
We have Ubuntu 12.04 installed with Subversion 1.8.10. The authentication works 
through Apache (https) and ldap authentication.
The subversion repositories reside on a netapp share (mounted through cifs).

This is the entry in /etc/fstab:
//fileserver04.insiders.zz/SVN_PROD     /data/SVN_PROD  cifs    
noperm,username=domain/user,password=mypass,uid=33,gid=33,nobrl,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,setuids,cache=none
     0       0


Until yesterday everything worked.

The repository  has 52999 versions. Now when a Client tries to check-in a next 
revision (TortoiseSVN) he gets the failure:
"Can't set permission on  '/data/SVN_PROD/{path_to_repo}/db/revs/53'"

The apache log says:
[Thu Jan 08 14:27:02 2015] [error] [client 10.54.6.95] Could not MERGE resource 
"/Development/smartFIX/!svn/txn/52999-16wb" into

information.  [404, #0]
[Thu Jan 08 14:27:02 2015] [error] [client 10.54.6.95] Named transaction 
doesn't exist.  [404, #175002]


My guess is he wants to create the new folder 53 (which works well), but the 
permission on the folder he can not set (chmod, chown).

I copied the repository on a local directory and connected to the repository 
through svn://. I could created more than 53000 revisions.


Has anyone any idea what could be the problem?


Best regards,
Hermann
