=09This problem is because you don't have portmap running on the client. =
NFS=20
needs protmap running on both server and client, or you will see this=20
slownees, and probably other issues, most likely dealing with file lockin=
g.

=09The mount log entires dealing with versions probably have to do with t=
he=20
upgrade to 1.2 not putting an updated version of mount on the machine. I'=
m=20
not familiar with Whitedwarf, but if it uses a package management system =
of=20
any kind, check to make sure that the package that has the mount daemon i=
s=20
the version that came with 1.2.

=09Hope this helps!
