frequent errors with subversion repository on fat32 on USB memory stick
- by sal
I keep a copy of a Subversion Repository on a USB memory stick that is formatted with FAT32.
I am using TortoiseSVN on XP and command line svn 1.6.x on Ubuntu and OSX with this memory stick. I notice that I need to do an svn cleanup just about every time or updates and commits will not work.
I routinely have errors with .lock and *.svn/text-base/** files getting corrupted.
Errors tend to be parameter is incorrect or lock file can not be read
Sometimes svn cleanup works and sometimes chflags -R nouchg *
Is there anything I can do to prevent this?
