I suspect you're right that the task is hanging because of a lack of output, it's a common issue.
Is there some settings we could look into? > Like a TTL, Timeout or have the task report back the progress/output from > the pg_dump or something? first thing that comes to mind is to run the output of `pg_dump` through `pv` [1] and set it to print some periodic status update, pv is a pretty worthwhile little tool anyway, and it might solve this problem really neatly.
