Don`t know about the other problem, but the messages above simply mean
that a NFS request has timed out. This can be the case under high net
load, or if the NFS Server is quite loaded s.t. the process serving
the NFS requests of the clients simply doesn`t answer in time. I don`t
think that this is a bug or hardware problem.

Well, I`m not an expert.

Cheers
