Dear svn experts,
I do a daily dump+backup of my svn server. Without any known trigger
(no server crash, except about 2 months ago I had a single I/O error on the
ProxMox virtualization server), the dump of one repo failed with:
svnadmin: E200046: LZ4 decompression failed
The svnadmin verify I ran to double check that also failed for that one
repo:
verifying /repos/X/Y...
* Error verifying repository metadata.
svnadmin: E160004: Checksum mismatch in item at offset 18983705 of
length 11921122 bytes in file /repos/X/Y/db/revs/0/221
After I restored X/Y from the last backup, and ran a dump/backup/verify,
everything is fine for 4 days now.
I couldn't find an error in the system logs (especially no I/O errors).
The repos are on a HDD (in my experience they last longer than SSDs
with lots of write activity, i.e. daily dumps/backups/etc...).
Question: Can I rule out software failure? I am running svn 1.14.1
on ALMA Linux 8.x. Shall I install on a new HDD? No action needed?
Any other advice?
Many Thanks in Advance and Best Regards,
Felix
