Check either /var/log/messages for complaints from the drivers,
or the output for nfsstat -c for 'errors' or 'retries'. If
this somehow shows that packets are getting dumped by something
in this setup (could be any piece of networking hardware in your
path), try one of: 1) reduce the read/write size for the NFS
mount (try 16k or 8k), 2) use TCP. See mount_nfs(8) for details.
