Thanks for the pointer. I found a discussion you were involved in in the
util-linux-ng mailinglist at the beginning of january, is that the
locking you talk about (see
http://www.mail-archive.com/util-linux-ng@vger.kernel.org/msg00005.html)?

I'll have a look at it on monday and see if I can patch our mount and if
it makes a difference!
