How many files are in /raid/data, excluding subdirs?  If it's many tens
of thousands ls will be slow, but I'd not think multiple minutes worth
of slow.

Please post output of 'df /raid'

Likewise, 'xfs_db -c frag /dev/[device] -r'

device being that upon which the XFS resides.

Probably not.  It probably indicates a very full and fragmented filesystem.

That may be related to xfs_fsr.  I've never seen such a file and I use
xfs_fsr regularly.  I'd wait for one of the devs to respond here before
deleting it.
