There seems to be a problem with whatever arla does when fstat() is called
with a file on an AFS mount. I've tried changing the settings in
arla.conf, and an fstat() call in ls keeps hanging on various files... it
seems a lower fpriority lets it get farther through the dir's file list
before it freezes, or at least changes the file fstat() hangs on, and
sometimes it gets through an entire directory with no problem.
The hangs are consistant (hangs on the same file or doesn't hang on any
files in a directory) based on the settings in arla.conf, and maybe only
on the fpriority setting.
If a 'ls' hangs on file blah, doing a ls blah or ls -l blah also hangs. I
haven't checked the arla code to see where it could be getting stuck.
