Checking out to livedrive

[Richard M Willis]

Is anyone else having problems checking out a SVN directory to a virtual drive. I have a livedrive subscription mapped to my M: drive and, in all other respects, it works like any other drive.
Try checking out a subversion repository, however, and all I get is red error messages. Usually, the message is along the lines of "Missing a row in WCROOT". A screen capture is included.
In case it makes any difference: the repository is held at assembla.com, I am using Windows XP; I am using TortoiseSVN version 1.7. I'm about to see if there's a better version of TSVN available, but I can't upgrade beyond Windows XP yet, as too much of my embedded toolset depends on it.

I don't know how livedrive is implemented, but I'm guessing that it does
not have all the lock and sync capabilities a normal harddrive provides.
See this page:
http://sqlite.org/howtocorrupt.html
especially:
2.1 Filesystems with broken or missing lock implementations
3.1 Disk drives that do not honor sync requests

maybe it's just not possible to store a working copy on a livedrive.
