Not able to create directory in /home.
I am working on Solaris 10 machine with autofs(auto_home) disabled.

But when I am creating any directory inside /home like /home/Telco, it's going in sleep, and nothing is happening until I manually end the process.

Can any one help me out here?

Rebooting the server solved the purpose, I guess remounting forcefully did the savior. Smilie

Looks like automount is still active. Check with
Code:
df /home

To apply changes, run
Code:
automount

For big changes one needs
Code:
svcadm restart autofs

I had a similar issue, i had disabled auto mount but was still unable to create any directories under /home. To get around this i had to remove the /home directory/mount point and create a new /home folder after that i was able to create directories with no issue.
