Unix Tip #4390- March 19, 2025
STALE MOUNT HANGS LS
Often times a stale NFS mount
point can hang a long listing
of a directory (ls -al).
To avoid this make the mount
point down one level.
So instead of:
mount rocket:/people /people
If the system rocket was down
the chances of a long listing
% ls -al /
of the root directory would
hang for a long period until
the NFS mount timed out.
Avoid this with most flavors
by
mount rocket:/people /rocket/people
then a long listing of root
% ls -al /
would work, but
% ls -al /rocket
would hang due to the stale
mount point.
