Thanks,

If you really are using the command "ls -l /afs", I have always
understood that this is getting information about the whole of AFS
space, that is, the root directories for all AFS cells; naturally this
will take a long time.  This may not solve your problem, but the command
as given is a bad (TM) idea.  Of course, the command "ls -l
/afs/CELLNAME" where CELLNAME is the name of your cell is a much better
idea.
