If you're not familiar with it, Python's <a href="http://docs.python.org/library/logging.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">logging module</a> is good stuff and worth checking out.

The stock 2.4 Linux kernel in the machine seemed to have some trouble mounting the file system root I had exported from one of our servers. The symptoms included long delays for most if not all activities that used the file system and lots of messages like these in dmesg:</p>
