In my case, the code which reads /proc/mounts is in read_mounts in puppet/util/selinux.rb. So whenever I have selinux enabled (on a system with libselinux-ruby), I get this timeout and the plugin retrieval fails. It's quite strange, as /proc/mounts is successfully read many times during the course of a puppetd run, both before and after the plugin syncing. Yet it always fails at this same point.
