CentoOS Directory Not listing
 

Hi All


I am using CentOS 7 and its running on Vmware Esxi.I have configured Mysql in that.After an mean while i tried to login in to the server with putty.The login was success but when i execute cd / then list all Dir by executing ls the ls command hangs and showing only a white curser.So it hangs there.but i can list ohter /etc Dir

I have Centos6 with MySQL (not really sure the relevance of mysql?) but I am accessing it via ssh. So a number of differences between our approaches.

Can you confirm that this is what you are trying to do and that the command hangs after the ls command? A screen shot would be helpful

Hi Tim

i can list all the directory with ls command but when ever i tried to ls in / it hangs there.but the machine is not hanged i can exit the putty and reconnect it .i can list the home folder and all dir .

Hi Timl

The ls command has hangs only when list the " / " .I access this through direct console there also the problem is same.but i can list the content of other dir such as home /etc ,/dev etc but however i list the / Directories it hangs there.i can close my ssh connection and reconnect it all other functions are working well.expect this one.

First of all you should not be logged in over SSH (or any network protocol) as root user on any (networked) machine: create an unprivileged user, then configure Sudo, then log in over SSH as unprivileged user and proceed. Secondly your first admin reflex should be to look at the system and daemon log files for clues. Third please refrain from using screen shots to illustrate things. Fourth what does this return?:

*Note this installs "strace" if not already found and you have several logs to attach as plain text to your reply: /tmp/{strace,find}.tx* .

Hi unSpawn

Thanks for the information.

which strace || yum install strace-----/usr/bin/strace

/usr/bin/strace -o /tmp/strace.txt -ff /bin/ls /--- returs the / Directories


/usr/bin/find / -maxdepth 1 -ls | /usr/bin/tee /tmp/find.txt--- returns nothing just hangs

Hi

Two txt file has been attached.

Hi

Finally i have a doubt in the cifs-utils .i have installed cifs-utils in the server to mount a windows dir. i have permanently mounted a windows share to the /mnt to hold the mysql backup.Is there any issue with that.
