Windows NT and XP can mount volumes on directory mount points instead of or in addition to drive letter mount points.
If a directory mount point is used, df delays for an abnormally long time prior to output, then fails to produce the complete listing. Using XP's tools to unmount the directory-mounted volume lets df run at normal speed; remounting slows it again, still without the volume listed.
