How many files are in /raid/data, excluding subdirs? If it's many tens
of thousands ls will be slow, but I'd not think multiple minutes worth
of slow.
Please post output of 'df /raid'
Likewise, 'xfs_db -c frag /dev/[device] -r'
device being that upon which the XFS resides.

Probably not. It probably indicates a very full and fragmented filesystem.

That may be related to xfs_fsr. I've never seen such a file and I use
xfs_fsr regularly. I'd wait for one of the devs to respond here before
deleting it.
