Hi Friends,
Presently our svn(subversion) server is running on windows environment. Need to move svn from Windows to Linux. All the testing regarding movement from windows to linux completed but we are not able to read the data in linux envirnoment. error we are finding is - "Coulnot open the filesystem".
Issue which i think is that windows file system which linux is not able to read.

Please suggest me how to change the filesystem from windows to linux hence we can able to see the data.

FYI - Data is all kind of files like text,pdf,videos,excell etc


Also we check all the files with the help of browser only.

Thanks in advance. Let me know if anyone need more info regarding this.

Please help me as its very important for me.

Thanks and Regards

Where your data is located, and what linux distro r u using ?

thanks

Thanks vishesh for quick reply,

we are using RHEL5 and data is under svnrepository (/usr/local/svnrepositry/Mumbai/db). That svnrepository (Mumbai folder) created by through svn command and some folders and files creadted inside Mumbai folder automatically while creating Mumbai folder through svn command. db folder is one of them.

Let me know if you need more info.

Thanks

I guess you're trying to read NTFS filesystem. Linux has no built-in support for NTFS, but there are ntfsprogs and ntfs-3g.

Yes Friend,
You are right. but please help and provide me more help how to resolve the issue. Please explore this solution more briefly so i can work around this and try to resolve this issue as soon as possible.

Thanks a lot.

There's nothing to explore, just install the package provided by your distro and read the manual.

You can recompile the kernel to allow NTFS read.

Search google for ntfs-3g and just install this on your computer. You can also compile a new kernel that support ntfs. Let me know if you got problem in kernel compilation.

Thanks

Thanks a lot friends,
I did and now its working fine...

Thanks again to all.
