SVN COPY 502 Bad Gateway error

Posted on

Our developers were experiencing a weird problem recently with our SVN installation where they couldn’t copy any files in SVN, they would always get the following error

<br /> svn: COPY of /project/!svn/bc/5121/trunk/path/file.gif: 502 Bad Gateway (https://svn)<br />

A quick fix of course would have been to just create a new file and copy the contents but this wouldn’t have kept the file history. A quick google lead to this page and a solution!

Resize Xen Filesystem

Posted on

We run a lot of Xen instances for our development and test servers and a few were starting to get full. Fortunately the disks in the real servers were very large and the xenlet partitions were made using LVM so resizing them to add more space was possible!

root@dev-myfiles0:~# df -h

Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on


/dev/hda1             4.0G  3.8G  200M  95% /


varrun                257M   48K  257M   1% /var/run


varlock               257M     0  257M   0% /var/lock


udev                  257M   40K  257M   1% /dev


devshm                257M     0  257M   0% /dev/shm

Basically we just have to shut down the xenlet, resize the partition and then restart the xenlet again, simple!
