Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: nfs-common
When using autofs in Hardy to automount nfs shares, lengthy hangs occur
if the target server is not available. This causes nautilus (and the
desktop) to hang at login and when opening. The problem seems to
originate with changed behaviour of mount.nfs. When attempting to mount
a non-existent server export, Gutsy returns in about 3 seconds with the
"No route to host" message, Hardy takes about 40 seconds and returns an
"internal error". This results in lengthy delays if there are multiple
autofs connections to be attempted. These behaviours are shown below:
