the two minute waiting is due to the nfs locking mechanism (which i
don't understant very much but...). if i try to mount the share manually
with option 'nolock' the mounting operation is immediate.

i'm trying to reproduce in a vserver a server i have in production where
root or another any user is able to enter/navigate the share. in the
vserver i tried as root and other unpriviliged accounts with no luck.

minutes, with fstab.remote is something greater than (sorry for) my 5
minutes little patience :-(

i've asked permission to the admin of the share server... i'll tell you
when i have permission.

more info may help:
  host: debian sarge/etch
  host kernel: 2.6.16-1-vserver-686
  util-vserver 0.30.210-10
  i've compiled nothing: all are debian precompiled packages.

thanks.
