Author df commands(s) hang; who; find

Hi,

Today I was checking the system and I tried to run the df comand and it
lists but doesnt exit out; it hangs.

I also tried to run who -r to see the run level. That command doesnt
produce any results as it used to show run level 3

Lastly what prevents the user from running "find / -name protocols
-print"?
How to correct the behavior?
I run as root it works fine.

Thanks
Joe

I've seen that behavior with df on a system which has an NFS-mounted
filesystem, when the server is unavailable. It'll list local disks
first, then sit there waiting for the response. It usually comes back
with something like "<nfsserver> not responding," though, once it
timesout. Did you let df hang for a while? ISTR that 600 seconds is
the timeout for TCP.

Run mount to get a list of the mounted filesystems and compare it with
your partial df output to see which FS is causing the issue.
