Installer stops responding on some UNIX-like platforms – On some UNIX-like operating systems, a network resource may cause the installer to stop responding and return the error "syntax error near unexpected token 'fi'." The df command also stops responding in this situation.
Workaround –
Identify the network file system (NFS) mounts that may have problems:
strace -e statfs, statfs64 df
Use the umount command to unmount an identified NFS mount:
umount -l <path>
Repeat the above steps until there are no more NFS mounts that have stopped responding.
Note: The umount command requires root permission. If umount unmounts the NFS, you may have to restart your machine.
