Description of problem: doing: while [ 1 ]; do find /my; sleep 5; done the find hangs in a ps: S state lsof shows the a cwd to different place, so I've been counting out some sort or garbage character stream.

Actual results: Expected results: just to list all dirs/files on the nfs volume Additional info: thought it could be the command (find), but tried tree and got the same results. Considered it may be the network, so I checked the routing tables, look ok, also switched the mount from one interface to another and got the same results. I do have switch (24port) that i haven't tried removiing, but there is not much traffic on it yet. I plan to try a xover cable test, removing the switch, maybe tomorrow. The other option is to upgrade (in a hurry) to fc12. thanks much for any help/guidance, i realize I havent provided any network traces -- hard because the problem may occure after it has done a full listiing of the nfs volume -- some 2tb+ of data/dir listiings.
this is a user error. ends up the switch was mis-configured. Thanks anyway.
