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
