Today ore svn mirrror got out off sync. The setup is as the headline describes. We have setup a mirror that does only read actions and write actions are committed to the master SVN server.
So on the mirror we have in the /etc/http/conf.d/mirror.conf file. this has 2 locations created. The private branch that redirects all writes to the master "SVNMasterURI" and a second Where the sync from master is send to. And yes, all hook scrip are executable. So the problem is : Some in 6 mounts the mirror would got out off sync because the locking mechanism was in please. So normally We would do a svn propdel --revprop -r0 svn:sync-lock http://mirror/svn-proxy-sync svnsync sync http://mirror/svn-proxyn-sync file:///home/master/svn/private But now doing a svnsync sync http://mirror/svn-proxyn-sync file:///home/master/svn/private we get an error messages like : svnsync: DAV request failed; it's possible that the repository's pre- revprop-change hook either failed or is non-existent svnsync: At least one property change failed; repository is unchanged svnsync: Error setting property 'sync-lock': Can't find a temporary directory: Internal error here are the config file: master SVN <Location /svn/master > DAV svn SVNListParentPath Off SVNPath /home/master/svn/private #SVNParentPath /var/www/svn AuthType Basic AuthName "BLA BLA" AuthUserFile /home/master/svn/etc/htpasswd AuthzSVNAccessFile /home/master/svn/etc/private.access Require valid-user </Location> Mirror write through proxy <Location /svn/mirror > DAV svn SVNListParentPath Off SVNPath /home/mirror/svn/private SVNMasterURI http://svnmaster/svn/master #SVNParentPath /var/www/svn AuthType Basic AuthName "BLA BLA BAL" AuthUserFile /home/mirror/svn/etc/htpasswd AuthzSVNAccessFile /home/mirror/svn/etc/private.access Require valid-user </Location> <Location /svn-proxy-sync > DAV svn SVNListParentPath Off SVNPath /home/mirror/svn/private Order deny,allow Deny from all Allow from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx</Location> Also when we tried to do a svnsync init commando we are getting the same output -- Mustafa Karci The IP Company Kruisweg 609 2132 NB Hoofddorp The Netherlands Website: www.theipcompany.nl Phone number: 085 1119158 Direct phone number: 085 1119158
