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 "/Development/smartFIX/Current/trunk/dev/src". [500, #0] [Thu Jan 08 14:27:02 2015] [error] [client 10.54.6.95] An error occurred while committing the transaction. [500, #13] [Thu Jan 08 14:27:02 2015] [error] [client 10.54.6.95] Can't set permissions on '/data/SVN_PROD/Development/smartFIX/db/revs/53' [500, #13] [Thu Jan 08 14:27:02 2015] [error] [client 10.54.6.95] Can't set permissions on '/data/SVN_PROD/Development/smartFIX/db/revs/53': Permission denied [500, #13] [Thu Jan 08 14:27:02 2015] [error] [client 10.54.6.95] Could not fetch resource 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?
