well, not your case in any meaning of the world. just took a shot at the dark. from the linux nfs faq: --------------------- B3. Why can't I mount more than 255 NFS file systems on my client? Why is it sometimes even less than 255?
A. On Linux, each mounted file system is assigned a major number, which indicates what file system type it is (eg. ext3, nfs, isofs); and a minor number, which makes it unique among the file systems of the same type. In kernels prior to 2.6, Linux major and minor numbers have only 8 bits, so they may range numerically from zero to 255. Because a minor number has only 8 bits, a system can mount only 255 file systems of the same type. So a system can mount up to 255 NFS file systems, another 255 ext3 file system, 255 more iosfs file systems, and so on. Kernels after 2.6 have 20-bit wide minor numbers, which alleviate this restriction. --------------------- anyhow, the dmesg output, as stated by some1 before, would be helpful.

Also, if that were the problem, umounting one of the partitions on /dev/sdb before mounting a partition from /dev/sdc would solve the problem - but it doesn't help.
