Could you explain what the issue actually is? Normally even trying to ls a directory containing eg a link to a missing NFS directory hangs. Are you saying that doing dired on a local directory that contains a link to a missing NFS mount works, but hangs in calling df to calculate the 'total used xxx available yyy' part? What does ls-lisp have to do with it? I can see how adding -l might help with a plain `df' call, but how can it help `df DIR' if DIR is local?
