Hi,


No "reboot".

Steven E. Protter say,

Probably ls -al / is listing a stale nfs mount.

Check your nfs mounts and possibly stop/start the services or automounter and the problem should go away. There may of course be a problem on the actual NFS server.

Hi rariasn ,
there is no nfs mount on this server.
I will check the automounter daemon .

Hi,

Verify integrity VG00

# vgdisplay -v vg00

Did you check the syslog.log file for any errors? Usually a hang on a 'ls' means the system is waiting for I/O from a device, i.e NFS mount, disk, etc...

what is the response of the bdf command on the system.
