Hi.
I'm using bacula to backup huge stuff, about 100TB. Usually it takes 
about 15-16 days.
I've faced with a problem. As I understood, in bacula there is mechanism 
which cares about jobs(watchdog timer). And with this mechanism I have 
trouble. My job terminates after 6 days with error message:

2013-12-29 16:42:56baculasrv-dir JobId 8013: Error: Watchdog sending 
kill after 518427 secs to thread stalled reading File daemon.
2013-12-29 16:42:56baculasrv-dir JobId 8013: Fatal error: Network error 
with FD during Backup: ERR=Interrupted system call
2013-12-29 16:42:57baculasrv-sd JobId 8013: Elapsed time=143:47:09, 
Transfer rate=58.09 M Bytes/second
2013-12-29 16:42:57baculasrv-dir JobId 8013: Error: Director's comm line 
to SD dropped.
2013-12-29 16:42:57baculasrv-dir JobId 8013: Fatal error: No Job status 
returned from FD.
2013-12-29 16:42:57baculasrv-dir JobId 8013: Error: Bacula baculasrv-dir 
5.2.13 (19Jan13):

But my job is still active. Where is the problem? FD isn't sending 
"keep-alive" packets or 6 days is hardcoded interval of maximum running 
time?

In sources I see this(src/lib/bnet.c):

    /*
     * ****FIXME**** reduce this to a few hours once
     *   heartbeats are implemented
     */
    bsock->timeout = 60 * 60 * 6 * 24;   /* 6 days timeout */

Is it mean that  heartbeat isn't implemented yet?

Now I'm changing that interval to 30 days.
Is there any more beautiful way?
