And yes /bin/ls --color=tty hangs. In fact, I changed it to color=auto

-l hangs too. Man, this is weird.
Both colorizing the names based on the file type and getting the file
metadata for a long listing require reading each file's inode, whereas
'ls' showing only the name requires only reading the directory data.
If that's the case then "ls -l" should also hang. Does it?
poc
ls -l /does/ hang in those cases, /with/ and /without/ the color option.
However, the hang is different. With ls --color=tty the hang locks
the entire ssh session. Whereas I can CTRL+C out of the ls -l hang.
So you think this is inode/disk related?
Since this happens in only one directory I would think it is the
directory that is the problem.
Try: echo *
in that directory and see what you get.
It /doesn't/ happen in only one directory. It just happens that I'm
doing my testing in one particular directory.
