You could be right. fstab and mtab show a lot of entries that I don't
remember seeing before. A number of lines start with none, and I don't know
what some of them are doing. It looks as though there are still traces of my
attempt to mount the usb smartcardreader, for instance. I can't see any that
look like remote mounts, though.
The reason I think this bears more attention, though, is because at the
weekend I had a mishap. Whilst I was trying to sort out the lan there were
still windows shares marked. I know I mounted all available shares, to see
what was there, and I forgot to unmount them. When I had to boot into
windows the FAILED messages were there. I think the slow down started after
this.
Could you please look over the files and tell me if any of these lines are
likely to be the cause? I don't want to start deleting until I know what the
more obscure lines mean.
