How can I determine the type of SVN repository I have?


How can I determine the type of file system that is used by a given SVN repository? I want to create a new repository with svnadmin but want to make sure I am creating my new repository with consistent settings to other repositories already on the server.

I dont want to setup a berkley db repository if all the others are FSFS on the system.

Can I reliably just look in /repositoryname/db/fs-type ?


Solution

  • If you're using a modern version of Subversion, the default is FSFS and has been for quite some time. Looking at db/fs-type is a reliable method of determining what you have already set up.
