    In the strace output you will find the origin of hang or dead
    I told you that "usually" are those three, usually is not always.
    Troubles USUALLY come because of E* return codes, EPERM, EACESS, EINVAL, Ewhateveryouwant.... It should serve you as a starting point
    to your investigation. If you find one E* you can check the syscall
    that origins that, in the example I put you before with statx and ENOENT,
    do "man statx" and at the end of manpage you will find the exception
    to this syscall as "ENOENT A component of pathname does not exist
    or pathname is an empty string and AT_EMPTY_PATH was not specified in flags"

    Thanks again for helping. I really can't search thro' 92 K lines
    for all the 'E*' return codes without knowing what I'm looking for.
    However, now that I've found the error msg at the end of 'syslog',
    I have been able to search the Strace output & hopefully made some progress.

    See my other msg just before this. Your further thoughts are very welcome.
