Is this a local, physical file system? Or a network based system, on NFS, ZFS, BTRFS, my cousin-ernie-FS, or some other oddness? I'm wondering if you have some underlying filesystem issues. Also, RHEL 6 and CentOS 6 aree out and quite stable. I'd definitely upgrade for Subversion servers: while the subversion is not noticeably different if you keep updates, the httpd and SSH upgrades are well worth it. I've actually switched to Scientific Linux 6, and much prefer it.
