Re: AW: [firebird-support] Firebird SuperClassic hangs
Hi, The only thing I can say that situation is not obvious, I suggest to ask for professional support: https://www.firebirdsql.org/en/support/ Regards, Alexey Hi Alexey, I have already changed the configuration, but it didn’t help. What I find strange is the fact, that the memory consumption drops like it would do when you close all connections. See my first description of the problem. And only to be clear when I say hang, basically it locks up without any sign of processing. When does Firebird perform deadlock scans? We have a lot of things going on and this number stay at 0 until the problem shows up. Is something causing a deadlock that FB cannot properly detect? How to analyze such a problem?

I would recommend to perform detailed investigation of the problem. Regards, Alexey Kovyazin IBSurgeon www.ib-aid.com<http://www.ib-aid.com> Hi, we’re running Firebird 2.5.7 SuperClassic on Windows Server 2012R2 as part of a web application. Database is around 130GB with millions of transaction per day. From time to time Firebird hangs. It does not respond to any client. It’s also not possible to connect locally to the server. The interesting thing is the memory consumption that drops from 5-7GB to around 50MB and the CPU load goes down to 0%. When Firebird is in this state, I also see a lot of waiting threads in the Task Manager under “Analyze wait chain”. The only way to get out, is to stop the service. This takes longer than normal and sometimes shows some kind of timeout. But the process is stopped and can be started again. I also ran fb_lock_print when the problem occurred.
