Can't set position pointer in file

[Mustafa Damar]

Hello everyone,

I have a big problem. I encountered this error when I made an update in the SVN folder. Although I did operations like clean up, revert, delete, it has not improved in any way. If anyone who has encountered this problem or knows the solution, can you help me?

The problem I encountered is the following error.

Next time, please don't just attach errors as images, but provide a
textual represantation as well. Remember that not all mail clients
behave the same when it comes to HTML mails with images and stuff. :-)

Said that, the error message seems to be related to your repository,
not your working copy, hence cleanup, revert, delete etc. won't do
anything.

Your repo is most likely corrupted, so be prepared to restore a
backup. You need to check that using "svnadmin dump" or "verify" on
the repo, look at "svnadmin help" for details. It's best to do both,
because in the past, "verify" contained errors not able to find all
problems, while "dump" did trigger some problems in repos I had.

Depending on the output of both commands, I suggest asking for further
help on the SVN user mailing list. They have a lot of experience with
broken repos.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen,

Thorsten Schöning

Hello Thorsten

I seem to have the same issue.

During a commit, i received the error message "Can't set position pointer in file".

After this error message, i was not able neither to commit nor to update the affected file.

I was able to commit and update all files, that are not in the same folder.

So I had the error once in the branch but was able to use (commit/ update) the trunk.

Also, repro browser was not able to show the corrupted file folder.

Instead it showed the same message.

I was able to solve the issue by deleting the corrupted file folder from the repository and adding it again.

But since this error ocurred now 5 times in the last two weeks,

im not searching for quick fixes like delete and add again any more.

Do you have an idea, where this problem comes from?

I'm useing TortoiseSVN 1.12.2 Build 28653, apr 1.6.5 and apr-util 1.6.1

Thank you in advance for your Help

Best Regards,

Lukas Angst

Hello,

The repository is most likely corrupt. What Subversion server do you use? What is its version?

On the server computer, use the svnadmin verify PATH-TO-REPOSITORY command to check the repository for corrupt data. If you use modern VisualSVN Server versions as your server, use the Test-SvnRepository PowerShell cmdlet. Please tell us about the results.
