svn cannot work properly after upgrading to 3.1.4 -> Fixed in SVN.

[wschee]

Hi,

I upgraded VB 3.1.2 to 3.1.4. My host is windows 7 and guest is ubuntu 9.10. Even though I did not have any problems with other programs (web browsers, apt-get, etc) that access network, I have problem with svn/rapidsvn to work with the repositories.

For svn up, svn updates the files, then the prompt is not returned. Thus, the process hangs indefinitely. For svn co, after svn detects repository, svn hangs. Thus, no files cannot be commited.

This system worked perfectly until 3.1.4 upgrade.

I tested with windows 7 firewall turned off, but I got no luck.

The repositories are my own repositories NOT virtual box repository.

Sounds like a network problem. The subversion client will hang if the server does not respond. Do other networking operations work from within the guest, for example web browsing, transferring files with ssh?

[wschee]

Other network operations in the guest work perfect. Also, rapidsvn installed on host Windows 7 works perfect when the svn/rapidsvn in the guest hangs. As mentioned earlier, there was no problem with vbox 3.1.2.

I switched NAT to bridged connection. Now, svn/rapidsvn does not hang at all. It looks like NAT of virtualbox 3.1.4 has some problem. I wish I get some response regarding this from the Oracle staff.

[Frank Mehnert]

You already got a response.

Could you please collect pcap file from host (please see ​http://wireshark.org) and guest side (please see ​http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Network_tips). Please note: that enabling net tracing will disable port forwarding for you. The result pcap files you can send to me (vasily _dot_ levchenko _at_ Sun _dot_ COM).

Could you please replace VBoxDD.dll with ​http://www.virtualbox.org/download/testcase/VBoxDD.dll.6237, in case if it doesn't solve regression for you. Could you please together with pcap files collect log by starting VBox in the following way

> set VBOX_LOG=drv_nat.e.l2
> set VBOX_LOG_DEST=file=c:/nat.log
> VirtualBox -startvm your-vm-name

The behavior you're describing, reminds me some graceful connection termination problem we'd met previously, looking at the changes I found that potentially we might broke socket draining, marking socket as closed before drain.

VBoxDD.dll.6237 solved the problem. Now everything works perfect on NAT mode. Thanks.

Could you please verify the build

​http://www.virtualbox.org/download/testcase/VirtualBox-2010-02-26-10-04-31-win-rel-3.1.51-r58091-MultiArch.exe ? This build of 3.1 containing patch fixes graceful connection termination problem for you, to be sure that everything is correct we need feedback from you.

[wschee]

What do you mean by "verify the build"? Do you want me to download the file and install? If so, do I need to uninstall 3.1.4 before installation? Please be more specific on what you want me to do.

Sorry. You're right, build verification is installing release build and repeating the test. Special action like uninstallation isn't required.

[wschee]

I installed the build and confirmed that the network works perfect with svn as well as other applications.

Thanks.
