I ran "svnadmin load" on a machine with 1 GB RAM and 25 GB swap (added so much swap specially for the occasion). svnadmin crashed after reaching the SIZE about 2.5 GB. Is 1 GB RAM and 25 GB swap not enough? I don't know if this gdb output will be useful: (gdb) where #0 0x2841e117 in kill () from /lib/libc.so.7 #1 0x2841e076 in raise () from /lib/libc.so.7 #2 0x2841cc4a in abort () from /lib/libc.so.7 #3 0x28116ec5 in abort_on_pool_failure (retcode=Could not find the frame base f or "abort_on_pool_failure". ) at subversion/libsvn_subr/pool.c:49 #4 0x283095fb in apr_palloc (pool=0xba46d018, in_size=204800) at memory/unix/apr_pools.c:663 #5 0x280ebad3 in svn_txdelta_target_push ( handler=0x280eb140 <window_handler>, handler_baton=0x5b26c058, source=0xba470738, pool=0xba46d018) at subversion/libsvn_delta/text_delta.c:528 #6 0x280d4d62 in svn_fs_fs__set_contents (stream=0xbfbfe7e4, fs=0x28512020, noderev=0x27dea528, pool=0x2852a018) at subversion/libsvn_fs_fs/fs_fs.c:5066 #7 0x280c9d52 in svn_fs_fs__dag_get_edit_stream (contents=0x2852a138, file=0x5b2e61a0, pool=0x2852a018) at subversion/libsvn_fs_fs/dag.c:997 #8 0x280de42e in fs_apply_text (contents_p=0xbfbfe904, root=0x5aef8058, path=0x2852a080 "ns2/trunk/tomsk.ru/SOA", result_checksum=0x2852a110, pool=0x2852a018) at subversion/libsvn_fs_fs/tree.c:2615 #9 0x280bf44e in svn_fs_apply_text (contents_p=0xbfbfe904, root=0x5aef8058, path=0x2852a080 "ns2/trunk/tomsk.ru/SOA", result_checksum=0x2852a0e8 "b03cbddfbc11be113cbf675862eb971e", pool=0x2852a018) at subversion/libsvn_fs/fs-loader.c:1096 ---Type <return> to continue, or q <return> to quit--- -- Victor Sudakov, VAS4-RIPE, VAS47-RIPN sip:suda...@sibptus.tomsk.ru
