Solution In Progress - Updated -

Issue

Recently upgraded from RHEL 5.10 to 5.11 and noticed that certain commands would hang at times, and we would require a reboot to resolve. Commands such as 'ps -ef' or listings in specific directories accessing Veritas (vxfs) filesystems.

    • seen on kernel-2.6.18-400.1.1.el5
  • Veritas vxfs filesystems
