The "le0 timeout" is a common error message.  You tend to see it most
often on systems with Linux acting as the NFS server.  There are some
performance issues with Linux 2.0's NFS support.  They're supposed to be
fixed under 2.1, but I haven't compared 2.1 with 2.0 just yet.  At home
I'm serving off of OpenBSD and at work I've got it served off an IRIX 6.2
system.  Both of those NFS servers are better behaved, but they still
suffer from "le0 timeout".
