Hello Volker,
About the only thing I can think of is that you have a stale or bad NFS
connection and you are trying to write the bootstrap file to another machine
with the bad NFS link -- or perhaps the other machine is just down. In that
case, Bacula will hang forever. Don't blame me -- I don't know why NFS files
when there is no one on the other end block forever.
If that is not the case, about the only solution is for you to run the
director manually under the debugger. When it locks up, ctl-c it, then
proceed with getting a traceback using the instructions in the Kaboom chapter
(I mainly need the output from "thread apply all bt". Make sure you have
debug symbols turned on (i.e. compiled with -g and not stripped. Note
FreeBSD has a habit of stripping everything it installs).
