I do hear reports of the SANs having issues from time to time, so it 
could be a problem with the underlying storage - except for the fact 
that it's lightning quick when the Linux Extensions are enabled...

I think that message must be unrelated though, because I mounted the 
filesystems a few dozen times and only got that one message.

I need to shut down later today, so I'll experiment some more when I 
restart.

Cheers,
Adam.
