'ls' hangs FC6

[Albert Graham]

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.
