Well, finally the backup got "unstalled", without any human
intervention. It filled in only about 3 more folders. Keeping in
mind that there are a tremendous amount of very big files in this
photographer's backup. But it surprises me that it took about 36
hours to gain three more folders worth of backup. What was
backuppc doing for the past 36 hours?
This was not a case of blackout period because it's the very
first full backup for this share.
Thanks, Doug, for cluing me into "iotop". It shows me that
rsync_bpc is at work. I think that I need to get a lot more
excludes going because there's a tremendous amount of time wasted
backing up useless photo previews in the lightroom database. Maybe
that will speed up a full backup. It will be interesting to see
how long it takes to do an incremental once this 7 Terabyte full
back up is complete.

Is there any way I can examine what backuppc is doing or attempting to do "now"? To try and figure out why it is stalled.
Install iotop to view what's being written to the file system
