Yes, actually think its corruption related. I did manage dumping the repo in full but have not been able to restore it. The restore fails with the same error. * editing path : condor/trunk/work/design/ic/library/kl_condor/kl_vco_curmir_1to20mA/starrc/layout.oa ... done. svnadmin: E200015: Caught signal <<< Started new transaction, based on original revision 7001 * editing path : condor/trunk/work/design/ic/library/yt_tmp/DM10_B_DUM ...svnadmin: E160013: File not found: transaction '6490-50b', path '/condor/trunk/work/design/ic/library/yt_tmp/DM10_B_DUM' Note, its attempting to restore revision 7001 but the previous revision is 6491.

No, petty sure, I am the only one who have access to the new SVN server but have seem E200015 error as seem above > > -- > Johan Thanks a lot Johan Regards, William
