Hey, Got the problem again, this time, it is definitely not caused by changes to the filesystem. I think it is more likely because of postgres being run in a virtualized environment. This time, it hung some time after starting a manual analyze on the biggest table so far (55Gb, still growing). Now: Something unusual with this?
