--------------------------------
Summary: FSFS corruption - Found malformed header - Corrupt
node-revision
Key: SVN-4858
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SVN-4858
Project: Subversion
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Julian Foad
This issue exists to document a form of repository corruption that has been
seen "in the wild".
The following error was seen by a WANdisco customer at the time of calling the
FS layer commit-txn API via WANdisco's own replicator product:
{code:none}
160004 Found malformed header '2-8080.0-58760.r87127/41271' in revision file
160004 Corrupt node-revision '2-8080.0-58760.r87127/41275'
{code}
I can artificially create a repository corruption that produces that exact form
of error, in a 1.6-compatible repository served by svn 1.10. By my analysis the
error almost certainly resulted from this kind of corruption.
The essence of the corruption is: within a directory representation, in either
a 'dir' entry or a 'file' entry, add 4 to the byte-offset part of the entry's
node-rev reference.
The observed failure was in a FSFS repo format 5, filesystem format 4, shard
size 1000, 60 shards packed; the error reported references r87127 so is in a
non-packed revision.
