Description

Timeout in Read FS when running: "ls -la /keybase/{public,private}/$user" on OSX El Capitan 10.11.6

I am able to $(cd) into other directories and $(ls) smoothly within the base/root of Keybase FS as well as $(ls) in the /keybase/private and /keybase/public directories. However any type of Stat/Read operations on the $user directories within error out. The $(tree) command gives a nice overview of the problem.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the c3a7f6b0360ab4ce9dd72f1c log and reproducing the timeout with ls -la /keybase/{public,private}/$user on OS X 10.11.6. Compare directory listing behavior with stat/read operations in the affected user directories; done means those operations complete without timing out.
