[ale] SLES 11 SP4 df

[James Taylor]

You are correct about this behavior.
I run into this often when an nfs server export is no longer available to a local nfs client.
It will time out eventually, but no real useful info.
I haven't tried this that I recall, but you may be able see something if you tail /var/log/messages
-jt

Has anyone run across this situation?

It seems the df command in sles 11 sp4 stats all the filesystems before
displaying anything. This means that when it gets stuck on a network file
system it just stops doing anything. It's waiting for a reply from the file
system that will never come. The user knows something is wrong but if it
displayed results as it went along, they'd know which file system isn't
responding.
