"mount" is running continously at 100%

[Erik S]

I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 precise with kernel "3.2.0-27 generic-pae" on a i686 Intel Dual Core.

Whenever I start with this or the -26 kernel, the process called "mount" is running continously at 100% in "top". I cannot kill or stop this process in any way, not even as root.

When running on 3.2.0-25 or -24 everything is fine. The output of:

erik@erik-Satellite-A300:~$ ps -e | grep mount ###on 3.2.0-27
  296 ? 00:00:00 mountall
  945 ? 00:02:47 mount

erik@erik-Satellite-A300:~$ ps -e | grep mount ###on 3.2.0-24
  281 ? 00:00:00 mountall

I have some ntfs-mounts in my fstab, but removing them don't solve the problem.
I tried it like this:

erik@erik-Satellite-A300:~$ cat /etc/fstab
proc /proc proc nodev,noexec,nosuid 0 0
#Entry for /dev/sda4 :
UUID=2ac421c1-720c-433e-a05c-0f43c8eea18d / ext4 noatime,nodiratime,data=writeback,errors=remount-ro 0 1
#Entry for /dev/sdb6 :
UUID=0bc6b74e-65d6-4f57-9c18-62d3bccf0d7d none swap sw 0 0

The output of "dmesg -k" on the 27-kernel you can find here: http://pastebin.com/MDUT2tb4
