Symptoms
The ls -la command hangs on root (/) filesystem:
Running "ls -la /" hangs, yet running "ls -la" to other root directories (i.e. ls -la /usr) does NOT hang. Review of /var/adm/messages shows NFS related errors, even though this is NOT a true NFS client. Here are the errors that may appear in the /var/adm/messages file when the "ls -la /" hangs:
Mar 28 09:23:19 moe nfs: [ID 333984 kern.notice] NFS server for volume management \ (/vol) not responding still trying
Mar 28 09:31:13 moe nfs: [ID 664466 kern.notice] NFS getattr failed for server for \ volume management (/vol): error 23 (RPC: Unitdata error)
In this particular situation, this client was mounting a CD remotely from another system, which was shutdown before unsharing the CD, and before the client could unmount the remote CD mount.
The tail end of a truss shows that it was hanging on /vol as well (line numbers set and it was hanging on line 256-257):
# cd /
*** process killed ***
