Commit & import hang (svnserve, fsfs)

We have a subversion repository with an FSFS back end. We use svnserve 1.4.6
running on Redhat ES 3. We normally use netbeans as the client.

Unfortunately, the repository has stopped working and I'm having trouble
tracking down the problem. Commits and imports from Netbeans hang (no error
message, process must be killed). Running svn commit on the command line is
the same. I have tried running svnserve -d --foreground and don't see any
error messages on the console. I haven't found any subversion errors in the
system log. Is there a subversion specific error log? I have run svnadmin
recover on the server, and svn cleanup on the client but with no success.

Anyone know what could be going on?  Any suggestions of where to look for
more information or error messages, or other things I can try?

Thanks,
Darren

Thanks for your help.

I can do a svn status --show-updates from the client, so I think I am
connected.

I checked the hooks directory of the repository and there are no executables
there, only the .tmpl files so I don't think there are any active hooks.

I found the problem in some bug reports. My server had run out of entropy
and so svnserve was blocking on a call to /dev/random.

On that red hat release, entropy stops getting collected. One solution is
rebooting.

The solution I found was:

rm /dev/random
 mknod -m 644 /dev/random c 1 9
 chown root:root /dev/random

1.       Check you are getting to the svnserve daemon, if not you have
firewall or networking problems.

2.       Check your hooks, typically I find my clients take a little
while to return if they have a longer-running hook script.
