If I specify slapcat -f slapd.conf -b "dc=example,dc=com" -l backup.ldif Then no messages will be displayed in the command window and it will be in the same state.

I see somewhere code hangs in the alock.c file I think the slapcat process not able to grab the lock,is it correct? or something different.

Who should be the owner of the directory? Did you start slapd as root? It seems, that the initial alock file has been created by root but the process is ownded by a different user, probably ldap or openldap.
