Can't hanlde files in certain directories

On a RHEL 5.5 I have this filesystem:

Code:
cat /etc/mtab
/dev/mapper/cpc_uat_app-cpc_uat /cpc_uat ext2 rw 0 0

which is not ful:
Code:
df -h
/dev/mapper/cpc_uat_app-cpc_uat
                       40G   32G  7.1G  82% /cpc_uat

and doesn;t have a huge number of inodes used either:
Code:
df -i
/dev/mapper/cpc_uat_app-cpc_uat
                     5242880   28349 5214531    1% /cpc_uat

the problem is that on some directories on this FS i cannot do anything (ls, cat or vi) on any file because it gets stuck. For what is worht those directories are the home dirs of some application users.
I assume it may be that the respective directories have a huge number of files, however they cannot be more than 2834.
I tried
Code:
 /bin/ls -f

(to avoid coloration and default ls sorting) and still it gets stuck. How can I acess/cleanup these directories on this FS?

NAME
thin_dump - dump thin provisioning metadata from device or file to standard output SYNOPSIS
thin_dump [options] {device|file} DESCRIPTION
thin_dump dumps binary thin provisioning metadata (optionally from alternate block; see option --metadata-snap) created by the device-map- per thin provisioning target on a device or file to standard output for analysis or postprocessing in either XML or human readable format. XML formated metadata can be fed into thin_restore (see thin_restore(8)) in order to put it back onto a metadata device (to process by the device-mapper target) or file. -f, --format {xml|human_readable} Print output in XML or human readable format. -r, --repair Repair the metadata whilst dumping it. -m, --metadata_snap [block#] Dump metadata snapshot created by device-mapper thin provisioning target. If block is not provided, access the default metadata snapshot created by the thin provisioning device-mapper target, else try the one at block#. See the thin provisioning target documentation on how to create or release a metadata snapshot and retrieve the block number from the kernel. -h, --help Print help and exit. -V, --version Output version information and exit. EXAMPLES
Dumps the thin provisioning metadata on logical volume /dev/vg/metadata to standard output in human readable format: thin_dump -f human_redable /dev/vg/metadata Dumps the thin provisioning metadata on logical volume /dev/vg/metadata to standard output in XML format: thin_dump /dev/vg/metadata Dumps the thin provisioning metadata snapshot on logical volume /dev/vg/metadata to standard output in human readable format (not process- able by thin_restore(8) ): thin_dump --format human_readable --metadata-snap /dev/vg/metadata DIAGNOSTICS
thin_dump returns an exit code of 0 for success or 1 for error. SEE ALSO
