Thanks for the info; got your logs. The log shows a burst of messages being received, each of which is a piece of the file, and then a 60 second pause before the next burst. Suspiciously, 60 secs is the default timeout for waiting for group RPC responses, hinting that something around that' i what is going on. Can you do a couple things for me? 1) Add TRACE logging for org.jboss.system.server.profileservice.repository.clustered 2) Turn on all the TRACE logging for the other node as well. 3) Send me the server.log from both nodes. Chances are only so-so that I'd have a chance to set up a test to reproduce this this week, so logs from your testing are very helpful in determining the problem.
