Hi,
follow-up regarding my problems with "database is locked" errors when trying
to access a Subversion 1.8 working copy located on an AIX machine
remotely via
SMB from a GNU/Linux machine:
- A Windows SMB share causes the same errors, so it's not specific to Samba.
- The problem can be circumvented by mounting the SMB share with option
'nobrl'. From the mount.cifs(8) man page:
nobrl
Do not send byte range lock requests to the server. This is
necessary
for certain applications that break with cifs style mandatory byte
range locks (and most cifs servers do not yet support requesting
advisory byte range locks).
I'm currently giving the 'nobrl' option in combination with
[working-copy]
exclusive-locking-clients = svn
in ~/.subversion/config a try. So far it seems to work just fine. :-)
