Comment 18 for bug 44836

The patch to mountnfs worked for me on ubuntu 7.10, but this bug has another nasty effect:

When updatedb/slocate is running, it will scan NFS mounts, even if the PRUNEFS string contains "nfs" in the /etc/updatedb.conf file. The PRUNEPATHS option does seem to work however. This is pretty bad since it results in lots of NFS traffic, and a general slowdown of the machine, and also updatedb tages AGES to complete!
