 From my reading of the subversion users&dev lists, issues with BDB back 
ends are usually a problem with the BDB version shipped with a 
particular distribution version. A couple have had problems - I can't 
remember if Suse 9.1 is one of them.
 Of course switching to fsfs is going to completely change the locking 
and disk read/write technology - not _necessarily_ for the better. 
Chances are in your situation the technology doesn't matter either way, 
so keep using what works for you - I just take issue with fsfs being 
presented as a blank "best" solution.
