NFS on OS X is not very good, and doesn't play nice with many other
NFS's (Linux, Sun, IRIX, AIX I've tried). I can get mounts on
occasion, but throughput is horrible, and OSX seems to have a
low-limit on the number of TCP/UDP sockets it has open because it
stalls dramatically (causing NFS to have to be restarted) under even
"mid-level" loads.
