the fix would be
mv /usr/home /usr/oldhome;mkdir /usr/home;mv /usr/oldhome/* /usr/home
and after successfull move - rm -rf /usr/home
I like this idea very much...
It results in 100% data loss of your /usr/home contents...

I really hope you meant: rm -rf /usr/oldhome
Also, mv just moves pointers around, wouldn't a cp -Rp be needed instead?

I guess that replacing qsort(3) in
/usr/src/lib/libc/gen/fts.c:fts_sort()
with another sort algorithm which doesn't
expose this anomaly would solve that problem.
for sure his /home wasn't worst case. it's just average case so it's not
that problem.
unless you have 486/33 or slower system there is something wrong.
Another possible scenario is that the directory is badly fragmented.
Unless something has changed since I last researched this (which is
it is for sure.
the fix would be
mv /usr/home /usr/oldhome;mkdir /usr/home;mv /usr/oldhom
ls takes 0.1 seconds user time, ls -l takes 0.3 second user time.
unless you have 486/33 or slower system there is something wrong.
Has anyone tried fsck and/or smartmontools on the drive? Maybe something
like Spinrite?
he stated that CPU load is near 100% so it's not disk problem

Is a partition close to full, use df to see that.
doesn't matter as ls read, not writes.

Are you using NIS for user/group
Is a partition close to full, use df to see that.
Is ls -l aliased to something else that is digging into your directory
tree, like when you're in /usr and type du?
