This is normal NFS behaviour - if a NFS server doesn't respond, the processes accessing it wait in an uninterruptible state. They also do not get notification of a problem by a signal. That said, newer NFS client implementations allow to change that behaviour - under linux, the nfs mount options "soft" and "intr" can be used to allow client processes to be notified of unavailable NFS shares. > At this very moment I am waiting for four backup > jobs.

You will have to either restart the clients that mount the NFS shares, or make the NFS server responsive again. > Running Jobs: > Console connected at 13-Nov-08 10:16 > JobId Level Name Status > ====================================================================== > 41637 Increme PLATON-W0001_System.2008-11-13_04.00.21 has been canceled > 41641 Increme PLATON-W0003_System.2008-11-13_04.00.25 has been canceled > 41643 Increme PLATON-W0004_System.2008-11-13_04.00.27 has been canceled > 41645 Increme PLATON-W0005_System.2008-11-13_04.00.29 has been canceled > > Due to a server failure the nfs shares are not available anymore.

That's not possible inside Bacula - the FD simply can't terminate file system accesses that are stalled due to NFS problems. The best thing to do is often a restart of the NFS server.
