Since an hour, I'm unable to commit to my svn repository. All repositories on my svn server are affected.
Updating and checking out works fine. Committing yields the following error:
svn: Commit failed (details follow): svn: Can't get exclusive lock on file '/var/svn/repos/<repo name>/db/txn-current-lock': Bad address
The problem started when I created a new repository with the name 'config', although I'm not sure this triggered the problems I'm encountering.
svnadmin recover <repo name> gives:
svnadmin: Can't get exclusive lock on file '<repo name>/db/write-lock': Invalid argument
Why does this locking problem occur?
[edit]
The server got worse, and started Segfaulting while trying to install updates. After rebooting again, the whole issue seems to be resolved…
