Try "unalias ls" before you do that. Does it make a difference? On my systems (and probably most CentOS/Red Hat) I have: $ alias ls alias ls='ls --color=tty' defined in /etc/profile.d/colorls.sh. This results in an extra stat() system call per file in the output listing to determine the node type. -Jeff -- Linux-cluster mailing list Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster
