Linux: ls takes forever on local volume
A strange issue, A simple ls on local volumes take forever to complete.
Using strace gave a clue:
A socket on 142.216.0.1 is open and runs to timeout. Tcpdump gave more details:
The wanted port is "domain" (=53); that's a DNS request.
Checking
Resolv.conf was not pointing on the DNS. Correcting the file has immediate effect.
Using strace gave a clue:
# strace -fiqttvx ls -l /opt

A socket on 142.216.0.1 is open and runs to timeout. Tcpdump gave more details:
# tcpdump host 142.216.0.1

The wanted port is "domain" (=53); that's a DNS request.
Checking
/etc/resolv.conf gave the answer :
# cat /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 142.216.0.1
