thanks for this tip, I tried, but unfortunately it made the things worse. 
I started the copyjob over NFS again, it only took 10 minutes, and the 
server was frozen again.
Now I'll try to NFS export sth. from dom0, not from a domU as before, and 
start the copy job again, just to see what happens.

Sebastian
