I have Ubuntu 9.10 64-bit, ext4 filesystem mounted with the nodelalloc option.

Note that it is the filesystem that I'm backing up that is ext4. The filesystem I'm writing the backup to, is a remote disk on a NAS mounted using FTP, using curlftpfs. (The filesystem of the remote disk is xfs, but I doubt that that's relevant?) It doesn’t help for me. I have Ubuntu 9.10 64-bit, ext4 filesystem mounted with the nodelalloc option.

A backup job start with the command:
> backintime -b
will hang with the following stacktrace:

INFO: Save permissions

This was the same before I mounted with nodelalloc.

Note that it is the filesystem that I’m backing up that is ext4. The filesystem I’m writing the backup to, is a remote disk on a NAS mounted using FTP, using curlftpfs. (The filesystem of the remote disk is xfs, but I doubt that that’s relevant?)
