I have a system here, when I run ls -la /directory it freezes, no response (I have to ctrl+c).

Any ideas why?

TIA

How many files are in the directory. On one of my systems, ls appears to freeze when listing a heavily populated directory, but does come back eventually.

I think it was a NFS issue. I rebooted the box, and everything is okay.
