Thanks Ed, I was also speculating about possible reasons. Alas I'm no sysprog (in my case: sysadmin) any longer, so I am not supposed to use such tools at the place where I'm doing long distance contracting. Actually I don't think there was anything like a shift change as my first failing attempts were in mid afternoon central european time whereas the last non-failing ones were towards 6:30 pm. Furthermore I think - I don't even know - these are all VTS like units/volumes. I just think they are, judging from the drastically reduced mount times in the first few minutes after they had recently been mounted.
