I switched to the 'fsfs' backend, and since then I've never had any
database corruption issues. [1] Those were definitely present with the
older BDB backend, especially in a collaborative environment where more
than one system user will be writing to the database.

You can create a fsfs-type repository by running

	svnadmin create --fs-type=fsfs

Hope this helps.
