+### Please describe the problem.
+
+Running "git annex add" on a file of any size (whether 10KB or 1GB) hangs forever, must be killed with ^C, and does not add the file.
+
+"git annex unannex" still works, as do other commands like "git annex status", "git annex whereis", etc.
+
+### What steps will reproduce the problem?
+
+Running "git annex add" from this computer on any git annex repository on any hard drive.
+
+### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
+
+I am using 3.20121127 on Arch Linux with git version 1.8.5.2.
+
+My hard drive has several gigabytes of free space, and I have no trouble using git itself for development in other repositories.
+
+I have been using this for over a year with no problem; I first noticed this about a week ago, and it must have started within the last ~3 weeks at most.
+
+
+### Please provide any additional information below.
