<p>svnadmin recover — Bring a repository database back into a

<h2>Examples</h2>
<p>Recover a hung repository:</p>
<div class="informalexample">
<pre class="screen">
$ svnadmin recover /var/svn/repos/
Repository lock acquired.
Please wait; recovering the repository may take some time...
Recovery completed.
The latest repos revision is 34.
</pre>
</div>
<p>Recovering the database requires an exclusive lock on
the repository. (This is a <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">database lock</span>”</span>;
see the sidebar <a class="xref" href="svn.advanced.locking.html#svn.advanced.locking.meanings" title="The Three Meanings of “Lock”">The Three Meanings of <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">Lock</span>”</span></a>.)
If another process is accessing the repository,
then <span class="command"><strong>svnadmin recover</strong></span> will error:</p>
<div class="informalexample">
<pre class="screen">
$ svnadmin recover /var/svn/repos
svn: E165000: Failed to get exclusive repository access; perhaps another proce
ss such as httpd, svnserve or svn has it open?
$
</pre>
</div>
<p>The <code class="option">--wait</code> option, however, will
cause <span class="command"><strong>svnadmin recover</strong></span> to wait
indefinitely for other processes to disconnect:</p>
<div class="informalexample">
<pre class="screen">
$ svnadmin recover /var/svn/repos --wait
Waiting on repository lock; perhaps another process has it open?
### time goes by…
Repository lock acquired.
Please wait; recovering the repository may take some time...
Recovery completed.
