Code:
find / -name ftp.

I can only second what Don Cragun has said: it may take a while to traversse the complete filesystem (this is what you do). Not because of AIX being AIX but because of huge amounts of data taking some while to sift though. Post the output of "df -g" to see how much disk space is mounted on the system (as an indication of how long it might take to traverse the FSs).

Or try something like

Code:
find /tmp -name file-known-to-be-in-tmp

because /tmp is usually small compared to the complete mounted filespace. If this still hangs the terminal we have to look for a different explanation.

I hope this helps.

NAME

       mounted - event signalling that a filesystem has been mounted

SYNOPSIS

       mounted DEVICE=DEVICE MOUNTPOINT=MOUNTPOINT TYPE=TYPE OPTIONS=OPTIONS [ENV]...

DESCRIPTION

       The mounted event is generated by the mountall(8) daemon after it has mounted a filesystem.  mountall(8) will wait for all services started
       by this event to be running, all tasks started by this event to have finished and all jobs stopped by this event to be stopped before emit-
       ting any other events related to this filesystem or continuing with other filesystems depending on this one.

       The DEVICE, MOUNTPOINT, TYPE and OPTIONS environment variables contain the values of the fstab(5) fields for this mountpoint.

EXAMPLE

       A tool that should be run after mounting the /tmp filesystem might use:

	      start on mounted MOUNTPOINT=/tmp
	      task
