Something I have not run into before. Following a major update still in progress I find the ls command will not run on $HOME.
I can view the directory with emacs in dired mode but `ls' simply will not complete... never shows anything and stays hung indefinitely. Top shows 94% idle so its not from heavy system usage. The ls command seems to work anywhere else, and I see nothing peculiar when viewing $HOME with emacs. Running `ls' from a root shell against my user $HOME, is the same story, indefinite hang, nothing listed. I've let it run from both user and root shell for upwards of 1/2 hr. Still just sets there. I've killed the terminal and restarted both user and root shells. But still the same result... a `ls' against my user $HOME will just hang. In both root shell and user shell, once `ls' is run against my user $HOME, the command hangs but also cannot by interrupted. Ctrl-c will not stop it. It only seem to happen on $HOME.... how very odd. Anyone else seen that or have an idea what might be the cause?
