OK, I ran 'strace ls /media/H300/Music' as you suggested. Here are the last few lines of the output: <output> open("/etc/group", O_RDONLY) = 3 fcntl64(3, F_GETFD) = 0 fcntl64(3, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = 0 _llseek(3, 0, [0], SEEK_CUR) = 0 fstat64(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=799, ...}) = 0 mmap2(NULL, 799, PROT_READ, MAP_SHARED, 3, 0) = 0xb7d3c000 _llseek(3, 799, [799], SEEK_SET) = 0 munmap(0xb7d3c000, 799) = 0 close(3) = 0 open("/media/H300/Music/", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_LARGEFILE|O_DIRECTORY) = 3 fstat64(3, {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0700, st_size=32768, ...}) = 0 fcntl64(3, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = 0 getdents64(3, </output> I don't know how to interpret this, but it does seem strange that the last line seems to be incomplete, as if something froze during the output of that line. Does this provide any clues? </blockquote><div> What kernel version are you running? ... maybe there is a known issue. So, it just hangs there at that point? How long have you waited? Is there any i/o or cpu usage at that point? </div> Regards, Todd <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">-- Jason Voegele "There is an essential core at the center of each man and woman that remains unaltered no matter how life's externals may be transformed or recombined.
