Not sure what you mean by "the same GC". It is because the space
transition looks like: 16394M->12914M(20480M)? This is normal.
Heap occupancy reaches 16394M, GC happens, heap occupancy goes down
to 12914M. Next time it happens, the heap will have new objects.
This is how GCs work.<br>

In the gc log it seems that there is always running the same
garbage collection.<br>
For example:<br>
$ zcat out_err.log.gz | grep 20480M | tail<br>

Therefore I assume this might be a bug ;-)<br>
You can download the whole log at: <a moz-do-not-send="true"

I don't think that we still have the logs of that very long gc,
but I will have a look for it at monday.<br>
Furthermore I do not think that we have logged there much details
of the gc. But I know that this happend on a very special server,
which contains more the 30gb of references (yes, just references
to other objects). If we run it with CompressedOops we reduce the
memory useage to nearly 50%.<br>

A full GC that takes an hour is definitely a bug. Have you
logged that bug?<br>
Or at least share the GC log? What's the version of the JDK
that this behaviour<br>
was seen with?<br>

Remember that jconsole asynchronously samples the heap,
whose size is<br>
read "with possible glitches". Rather, you should probably
rely on the GC log in order to assess<br>
the heap size after each GC event, rather than the
asynchronous samples from<br>
jconsole. I myself have not had the chance to look at yr GC
logs to see<br>
what that indicated wrt the size of Eden and of the Heap.<br>
