  • server maintenance

    Hi all

    Im really pleased to see that you have adopted subversion so fast, keep it going

    Sometime in the next few days im going to bring the server down for a hard drive upgrade and a change of operating system.
    The harddrive capacity will increase from 10GB to 300GB, of course in a raid configuration
    The new operating system will be Windows 2003 STD (I know, but I have to sell what the customers want to buy).

    The subversion server will be online again as soon as possible. Im thinking it will only take a few hours, but I expect that im too optimistic as usual.

    If anyone can provide me with a proper commandline for dumping and reestablishing the repository I will be gratefull as I will have one thing less to worry about.

    Well, that's subversion docs, chapter 5. In short, you want:

    $ svnadmin dump myrepos > dumpfile

    to dump, and then:

    $ svnadmin create newrepos
    $ svnadmin load newrepos < dumpfile

    to reestablish. The commands should be the same in both OSes.

    There are ways to split the dump up into smaller bits in a sensible way if you want - see the docs for more details.

          well, i have been through the process for some time now and it involves both a brand new server and a sad tale concerning my bankaccount.

          Status right now is that i have a new server running Win2003 and nothing else.

          next step is to establist a svndaemon on the server and upload the backup.

          im thinking sometime tonight it will be operational.

                  I get no connection ("the connected party failed to respond"). I can't ping kaan.dk or ctp2.kaan.dk either.

                    Same here. TortioseSVN says: Can't connect to host 'ctp2.kaan.dk': Connection timed out

                    At least the ping recordnize that the server does exist.

                      It worked for a short time when I put r321 up (about 7:45 GMT 9th) but after that it stopped working with the same errors as above.

                            Well it was working but now I can't connect again, TortoiseSVN gives me the following error message:

                            Can't connect to host 'ctp2.kaan.dk': Connection timed out

                            And I can't ping ctp2.kaan.dk either.
