I was just using a regular user, using command line SVN on the server with SELinux set to permissive.
I was finally able to figure out what was going on after seeing that doing an svnadmin verify with sudo worked. I guess 1.8 now needs to create files in the db directory, both a "rev-prop-atomics.shm" file which remains and a temporary .mutex file. After adjusting permissions to make the db directory writable, svnadmin verify is working again. ________________________________ From: Thomas Harold <thomas-li...@nybeta.com> To: Gordon Moore <gordonm...@yahoo.com> Cc: "users@subversion.apache.org" <users@subversion.apache.org> Sent: Friday, September 6, 2013 12:34 AM Subject: Re: Error after server upgrade to 1.8.3 - E160052: Revprop caching disabled On 9/5/2013 6:41 PM, Gordon Moore wrote: > > Is this a known issue with 1.8.3?

I'd start with: - How are you accessing the SVN repository? http? svn+ssh? svn? - What are the ownership and permissions on the /svn/repos/build folder, the build/db folder, and the contents of the build/db folder? - If you are running with SELinux set to Enforcing, try setting it temporarily to Permissive and see if the issue goes away. - What user account are you using when trying to svnadmin dump / svnadmin verify?
