(bringing this to dev) Devs,
Anatoly sent me some more info in this issue and log files of svnsync 1.8.0+serf 1.2.1 with logging enabled. He's running svnsync from a https repository (ra_serf) to a local repository (ra_local). This on an Ubuntu 12.08 VM with 64-bit binary. In the log files I received doesn't abort but stops with this error (after hours of syncing): [2013-07-12T01:37:35.650011-07] [l:192.168.222.132:53349 r:10.14.3.25:443] outgoing.c: cleanup - closed socket, status 9 svnsync: E000005: Can't open file '/media/windowsshare/db/transactions/391384-8e0c.txn/next-ids': Input/output error ... (cleanup and end program) As far as I can see in the logs in this particular run there's nothing wrong on the receiving end in ra_serf, but there's a problem during the commit action. I suppose (to be confirmed) that his target repository is stored on an nfs or smb share. Svn has a retry feature in fsfs to retry opening files after receiving an EIO error, see libsvn_fs_fs/fs_fs.c RECOVERABLE_RETRY_COUNT, but I don't see this being used in read_next_ids (fs_fs.c) when opening the next-ids file. Can anyone more knowledgeable about fsfs confirm that this is a possible explanation for this issue?

How to mirror this repository? Is it a bug or not?
