Not yet -- sometimes the mount takes 10 seconds, but never longer than

But I have a hunch that I'll test in the next few days: If I reboot the
evening before, so there's nothing in the dentry cache, maybe the mount
will take a lot longer (maybe because the find is searching all over the
place?). It's a long shot but I don't know what other factors are
essential to reproducing the slowness.
It does sound interesting. I don't know exactly what might be happening
(I'm not that well versed in this part of the kernel internals), but
remounting could probably be slow if there's either lots of files open,
lots of dentries in the cache, lots of notification requests open, you
name it. It would be nice to be able to reproduce this using a simple
test case, so that we can submit this to the appropriate kernel maintainers.
Cheers,
Bart
