Were the slaves running scans at the same time?
We had problems here with such a setup because the slaves were constantly reporting back their results (during the scan) to the master and the master was busy fighting for file locks on the sqlite DB. It was impossible to do anything on the master as long as 2 or more instances were running scans at the same time. I even put the sqlite on a ramdisk to see if it was just slow disk I/O causing the problem, but the problem still persisted.

On the bright side I've had good experience with using PostgreSQL as a backend for the central master :-)

That's where the fun begins.

This issue seems to happen fairly randomly on all of the following:
Master server: OpenVAS 7, CentOS 6.6
First slave: OpenVAS 7, CentOS 6.5
Second slave: OpenVAS 6, CentOS 6.5
Third slave: OpenVAS 8, CentOS 7.1.1503
Fourth slave: OpenVAS 7, CentOS 6.5

I have a new install.  The check script finished OK.  I set up a

Next day I come back to check on things and can't get to the tasks
list.  I enter username and password and click "login" and it hangs.

The problem resolves if I restart the openvas-manager service, but
that pauses my scan.

Any ideas what's wrong here?
which OpenVAS version are you using?
