Importing was much slower than expected, so I straced svn. The problem was easy to understand: being based on BerkeleyDB4 transactions, it was doing fsync() all around, and I remember reading in this list that Reiserfs4's fsync()s [well, was it sync() ?] was currently exiting synchronously, which is not the traditional behavior of this call. Ok, nevermind if this was a bad speed test ;) I ^C'ed strace (during a fsync() I think, since most of svn's time was spent there), and all the sudden OOPses started scrolling in logs' window. After a few seconds, I had to reset the system. Too bad I couldn't find anything in the logs after reboot, but the problem occured on first try, so I suspect it will be easy to reproduce. Good luck! Pierre.
