Here's what I'm not quite getting with all this. I can ls in certain
directories with hardlinks (I'm using rsnapshot to backup our servers to the

into the only child in the directory( cd bak/, so now pwd shows
'backup/bak/') and do an ls there and it hangs so badly I can't kill the
process and the ssh session locks up).
We're certainly getting beyond my level, but does doing an "strace
/bin/ls" reveal anything?

Now here's something strange. My alias is set as:
alias ls='ls --color=tty', which based on looking at my other Fedora
boxes is standard, methinks. However, if I do a /bin/ls of any
directory that hangs with 'ls' only, it works perfectly. If I do not
use the full path (i.e. ls <dir> instead of /bin/ls <dir>) it hangs.
But, it doesn't hang every time I use 'ls' instead of '/bin/ls', only on
certain directories. I'm trying to get an strace now, but wanted to try
every other option I could think of first.
