svnadmin 1.8.13 Server: Centos 7 64-bit Repo in local xfs disk Backups in remote cifs share
This operation works without problems: $ svnadmin hotcopy /path/to/repo /local/path/to/dest With a small repo, it takes just a few seconds But this one does not: $ svnadmin hotcopy /path/to/repo /remote/path/to/dest where /remote/path/to/dest is located on a remote cifs share. Before detailing the problem, let me tell you that this problem did not happen until I upgraded my server from Centos 5.5 & Subversion 1.6.16 & local repository over ext3 to the configuration described above. (The remote cifs share for backups is the same). Now, the symptons are these: when I launch the hotcopy operation, I can see that the repo is completely copied to the destination in a few seconds, except for 3 files. After several minutes (even hours), ps ux shows that svnadmin hotcopy is still active, but waiting for something that never happens... No error or warning message is shown. The three files are: /path/to/repo/format /path/to/repo/db/format /path/to/repo/db/fs-type It seems to me that these are the last files to be recreated in hotcopy operations, but I do not really know. The fact that the operation does succed on a local destination hints to some problem with permissions, different filesystems, or who knows. Here are the relevant parts of /etc/fstab, if they are needed: LABEL=repoxfs /opt/csvn/data/repositories xfs defaults 1 2 //srvr/bkps /home/csvn/mnt/hotcopies cifs username=csvn,domain=*,password=*,rw,uid=csvn,gid=csvn,dir_mode=0755,file_mode=0755 0 0 Any suggestions? Thanks a lot.
