Hi Marek Thanks for your suggestions!
Unfortunately, changing the JVM gc options so that the JVM will no longer hang just worked ONCE. Therefore I was not able to get a "nice" stack trace anymore :-( Connection Pool: We had set the max connection pool size to 5. As you suggested I set it to 15. Same effect. Even 50 or 100 did not help. Interestingly, postgres shows just 3 open connection for jackrabbit. Is this a suspicious behavior or does it simply not need more connections and is therefore not spawning new connections? Enabling debug, setting login and socket timeout on the postgres-jdbc-driver did not help either. I even changed the pool implementation from dbcp to c3p0 in jackrabbit-core-2.6.0 to be "sure" it is not a pool bug. Further we are not able to reproduce the hang with: - Slower machine, postgres 8.3 - Very fast machine, postgres 8.4 (only hanged 1 of 5 times so far) - Faster machine, mysql This issue is slowly driving me nuts ;-) Thanks!
