Title:
  ls hangs after using sshfs mount on a sub-directory

Status in “coreutils” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Using lucid LTS on both client and server machines. Recently, I installed fuse and did mount on sshfs in a sub-directory in my home directory. 
  Here was the command: 
  sshfs -o idmap=user <my-user-on-remote>@tagz-2:/    /home/<my-user-name>/tagmount/
  After this ls on the sub-dir tagmount worked and I could see files from server. 

  But, after weekend when I again tried to do ls or used konqueror to
  see files in that dir they both keep hanging.

  Even "ls ~" keeps hanging and even Ctrl-C cannot kill it. I just had to do kill -9. 
  strace shows hanging on stat64 on the sshfs mount directory. 

  I saw Bug #264313 which is similar but the work-around specified there doesn't work for me. 
  I think neither this nor Bug #264313 should be closed. These should be considered high priority bugs as nothing should hang without recourse. 

  In the meantime, please let me know if there is any work-around. I am
  still unable to do ls or use dolphin in the home dir.
