dmesg and logs from client machine showed nothing, dmesg from server:

-pid- proc flgs status -client- -prog- --rqstp- -timeout -rpcwait -action- ---ops--

(nothing, nada, zilch after what looks like the header line)

Situation, first use of 'df' after reboot, client machine hung for many 
seconds before the /home/common export showed up, this is not repeatable. 
Mounting another export and doing 'df' again had no delays.

Client is running 2.6.27-rc3-git5 (x86_64) at the moment, configs, etc

Server as above.  Am I supposed to have some debugging turned on in the 
.configs?

Grant.
