SVN freezes commit or update

Running into a weird issue with SVN. I have a CentOS 6.3 server on which SVN version 1.6.11 is installed using LDAP authentication for user login. It has been stable and online since July and has never had any problems. The system crashed due to a force event in our data center during a hurricane, and since then it has not. The first commit on the server works properly, but any connection attempt after that freezes and continues to try forever (or until the connection is completed either by terminating the client verification process or stopping Apache). Rebooting the server allows for single sign-on, and then freezing again. This is similar to TortoiseSVN, RapidSVN and the CentOS SVN command line. I still have basically two ideas to fix this at the moment:

  • Dump and reload existing SVN repositories and hope that everything that causes the hangs is not portable.
  • Restore from the last known good backup of the repositories.

Has anyone come across this before, and if so, how did you fix it?

I found out that if your svn freezes, then your SVN client is too old. Update your svn client to run the svn version of your svn server files.
