Hello,
I had a catastrophic Subversion server loss, and I'm having some troubles recovering. The server was using VisualSVN 3.2.3 which is Apache Subversion 1.8.13. I have a full exact duplicate of the repositories directory, but it's giving me 'invalid name for 'fsfs' when I copy them back in. I realize the automation going on should have been utilizing dumps or svnadmin hotcopy. I have tried copying the /rev and /revops folders into a new repository but I'm getting an error: "Can't get the author of r1: Serialized hash malformed". I've tried fsfsverify, svnadmin recover, and even the Oracle Berkeley db_recover tool. After I added the rev/ and revops/ files to a new repository, and modified the db/current file to the latest revision, I –can- actually see the files. I just can't see the author nor date of the revision in the web. When I try to checkout I get "Found malformed header 'P ' in revision file. When I run “svnadmin verify” I get: ' in revision file Found malformed header 'P. Does anyone have any idea of how I can recover these repositories? I can package them and send them out if you believe you can help. Thank you!
