    I did a re-emerge of coreutils, then some of its
    friends. It still doesn't work.

    I saw some clickbait news that coreutils is being rewritten in Rust
    but I don't think it's been released to the general public. However
    if you run non-stable packages then possibly you picked it up?

    Possibly mask the version you are currently using and see if
    an older version is working?

    Howdy,

    As some may recall, I'm bad to fill up a hard drive.  I regularly use df
    -h to see where drives are as far as filling up and such.  Usually, it
    takes only a second or so to list them all.  Speed is one reason I use
    it.  I did my regular updates last weekend and for the past few days, it hasn't worked.  I did a re-emerge of coreutils, then some of its
    friends.  It still doesn't work.  When I run df -h, it just sits there. 
    It will sit there for hours, doing nothing it seems.  Eventually, I hit
    ctrl c to kill it. 

    Anyone else running into this?  Any idea as to why it stopped working? 
    I can't find anything on BGO.  Searching for only two characters is a
    bit hard tho.  o_O

    Thoughts?

    Sounds a little bit like a hanging NFS share; df goes through all mounts and tries to access them, but one isn’t responding.

    Try applying df to a single filesystem, like: ``df -h /''. If that
    works, get an strace of df and also post that.

    Have a great night.

    This was the one.  I guess I forgot to umount my backup NAS before
    shutting it down.  Obviously, since the machine is off right now, it
    wasn't responding.  I did a umount -f on it and now it works again. 

    I thought I used df since my last update but wasn't sure.  I thought
    maybe a update broke a symlink or something, which is why I re-emerged
    several packages.  Didn't occur to me to check the NAS mount point. 

    Thanks to all.  It's working again.  I need to buy more drives again
    tho.  Getting close to 90% on some and over 90% on backup NAS.  :/
