Re: df command hangs

verify your network connections. maybe you have a mounted remote filesystem and the remote machine couldn't be reached (network problem or remote machine down).

Re: df command hangs

thx..
Just found that there is a remote mount and nfs service is stopped in the remote machine.
When i started the same it works fine.

Re: df command hangs

It could be because of the "bad" file system/hard drive
Try to fsck the partition that you've used the "df" command on.
