I experienced the same exactly behaviour with precise and NFS mount. Previously I used autofs to mount NFS share, but with precise, autofs give very poor performance (multiple freeze of my desktop when NFS was used).
here my fstab line for yhe NFS share : 192.168.0.12:/volume1/public /media/nas/public nfs defaults,user,noauto,noatime,intr,udp 0 0 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/871385 Title: "Timeout while waiting for mount to appear" when mounting NFS Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I've got a couple NFS mounts in my /etc/fstab, set up to be user- mountable. These mounts show up as network mountpoints in Nautilus's computer:// location, which I can click on to mount. When I do click on them, nautilus successfully mounts the mountpoint -- it appears as a new harddisk in the same computer:// view (right next to the original icon I clicked). However, Nautilus then doesn't switch my view to that location, and after a few seconds pops up a message, "Unable to mount location: Timeout waiting for mount to appear". After all this, I can manually click on the newly created icon and browse the drive. Further, double-clicking on the original icon while the mount is already there causes nautilus to pop up a message, "mount.nfs: <location> is busy or already mounted". What I expect to happen is that this takes me to the view of the root of the mount. Optimally, there shouldn't be two icons either.
