Hi Steve,
ls hanging could mean you have a connectivity problem to your SAN or
maybe an hard NFS mount (are your other servers up?), what does top show
for i/o wait ?
Did your NFS server/SAN/SAN switch failover ?
What does dmesg show ? anything in /var/log/messages ?
Albert.

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.
What does "which ls" show? and does /bin/ls --color=tty hang?
Steve
Output of which ls:
[root@blowingrock bak]# which ls
alias ls='ls'
/bin/ls
And yes /bin/ls --color=tty hangs. In fact, I changed it to
color=auto and THAT hangs as well. I changed the ls alias to be just
'ls' and that works fine for all directories that were hanging
before. But now, ls -l hangs too. Man, this is weird.
