I must specially thanks Viet_Q_Hoang and I included
his reply below.

That sounds like a symptom of some nfs/automounting
problem.
Easiest way to track it down is to run 'find / -print'
and see
where it hangs.

It hung at /xfn. Comment out /xfn in auto_master and
restart
autofs. everything works fine now.
