Not that I can think of.
However, I just upgraded the server to new hardware (faster cpu,
bigger disks) and the problem seems to be gone now...
I probably should try ltracing rpc.mountd to look at the execution
time of blk_id_probe_all_new again, just in case it's still
excessive, but the faster CPU might compensate for that.

Hmm, no... Seems fine now:
14:41:50.754679 blkid_probe_all_new(0x8063810, 0x805c940, 34, 17,
0xf7ef4023) = 0
14:41:51.094040 __xstat64(3, "/home/ranma/mail", 0xffe7ef94) = 0

I also noticed that while I had upgraded nfs-kernel-server I was
still using an older version of libblkid1.  Maybe that upgrade fixed
it.

Anyway, I should be able to boot up the old components to do some
tests with them...  Maybe it's a timing problem that only shows up
on slow CPUs? (PentiumIII 800MHz vs. Athlon64 3200+)
