`df -h` locks my ssh session

After executing `df -h` my SSH session hangs and doens't return prompt back.

Can you run `df` without the -h? What do you have mounted (any remote mountpoints)?

Ctrl+C or Ctrl+Z it.

You likely have a stale NFS mount. Restore the NFS server it is looking for, or reboot. If /etc/mnttab exists, cat it or open it in an editor for possible clues.

Ctrl+C and Ctrl+Z doesn't work, but yes I had trouble mounting NFS share from this machine earlier that day which I totally forgot.

Thanks AlucardZero for pointing that out!!
