Yes, that seems to be the case. Can you post the details of your network
configuration?

Also, can you reproduce this issue and then run 'killall -USR1 mountall'?
This should trigger mountall to retry all pending network mounts. I want to
rule out the possibility that the recent mountall changed introduced a
deeper problem with the mount handling. (The race-the-network problem has
been reported before, so while it's new for you, it's not a new bug.)
