Even with 10 partitions. Linux can boot up in just a few seconds, but now you're saying that we need to do this semaphore check at boot up. By doing so, it's inducing additional 4 seconds during boot up. What about moving the locking mechanism to the "mount" program itself? Won't that be more feasible? As for the cases of simultaneous mounts, it's usually administrator that's doing something bad. I would say this is not a kernel issue.
