Hi TullyNYGuy,

I reproduced the issue on my machine on F/W 6.5.0 RC1.

## Created a share on the NAS
## Allowed NFS

## Mounted the share on a Linux machine
# mount <ip>:/<volume>/<share> /mnt

## Listing the content of the mount point works ok and prompt is released
# ls -alh /mnt
[bla bla bla]
#

## Took a snapshot (not sure if necessary)
## Allowed snapshot access on the share using the GUI

# Listing the same mount point hangs and the prompt is NOT released
# ls -alh /mnt
[... hangs ...]

So this is a BUG, and not corrected in 6.5.0
