I've got bacula currently in a hung state with the following interesting 
info.  When I run a status storage produces the following...
          

Is your Bacula still stuck? If so, and you have gdb installed, and a 
Bacula with debug symbols, now might be a good time to see what it's 
doing...
        

...
    

I have also seen this lately.. but that was with Bacula 2.5.18.

I could make that hang happen multiple times, but I'm not totally sure what
caused that..
      

Well, if you can recreate the issue it's worth the effort building 
Bacula with debug information so you get usable backtraces.

If the problem happens again, you can use gdb to create a backtrace, 
showing the developers more details about what happens and thus 
enabling them to fix the issue.

I would recommend that now.

    

And now it's stuck again..

bconsole is still usable after this..

"sta director" shows a lot of jobs waiting for execution (since this was a
'copy pool uncopied jobs to tape'-job), but nothing happens really.


"sta storage" makes bconsole hang.. last output:

What kind of backtrace do you want? From which daemon? bacula-sd?
