what is the maximum limit that svnadmin load/dump file execute

Question

I am migrating cvs and Subversion 1.6 repos to new subversion 1.8 server. I use cvs2svn for CVS dump and svnadmin dump to create dump files and load in new subversion server. My CVS repositories maximum size is 8 GB and Subversion repos 15 GB in size. 1. Can I use cvs2svn to dump 8 gb cvs repository . cvs2svn will create dumpfile for 8 gb repository and will this dump can be loaded in subversion server. 2. can I use svnadmin dump (not delta) for 15 gb repository and will I be able to load in the new server. Is there any size limit or limitations on running cvs2svn conversion and svnadmin load and dump commands. Please share your approach and suggestions that I can follow.

Answer 1

I can't comment on cvs2svn, but I can say that I recently dumped a 22GB repository into a 45GB dumpfile (45GB after gzip, who knows how much it would be without gzip). This dumpfile was then loaded into a new (1.9) repository without issues.
