There was at least one known oops at mount time with 3.0:

    https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=727927

...but I can't tell whether you hit that w/o seeing the oops messasge.

It should be fixed in mainline and the patches for that and another
mount time problem will be in the next set of stable kernels. You may
want to pull these two commits into your kernel and try again:
