That's something you can configure.

You can set up maximum times jobs may stay stalled or running. This is 
discussed currently, so have a look into the "jobs getting canceled 
again" thread to see some of things to consider.

You can also set up job concurrency, so even if a (limited) number of 
jobs is stalled, the others can run in parallel, but you'll probably 
need several storage devices and pools for this to help against 
unavailable volumes.
