strace is a wonderful tool to trace system calls and signals

I was hanging issues whenever I do a “df” and I was curious which file system is calling issues

% strace df
.....
.....

stat("/run/user/1304561586", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0700, st_size=40, ...}) = 0
stat("/run/user/17132623", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0700, st_size=40, ...}) = 0
stat("/run/user/17149581", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0700, st_size=40, ...}) = 0
stat("/run/user/1304565184", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0700, st_size=60, ...}) = 0
stat("/scratch",

It is obvious that /scratch file hang immediately after being launched.
