There's something ugly going on with the network.  Take a look at this 
experiment. I have a bunch of unused local disk space on my thing2 host and I 
wondered what would happen if I tried copying that large VM disk image from 
that RHEV Export NFS server to a local disk by hand?  So I tried it - see below 
and then some comments after that.

***********************************

And my window I pasted in above doing the copying is hung.  Looking in other 
windows, it copied about 204 MB to my local /data/greg directory before 
hanging.  Ctrl/C doesn't work, it's just hung.  After a couple minutes, it 
finally responded to my CTRL/C.  From another window, trying:

brctl show

also hangs. After several minutes, it comes back to a shell after CTRL/C, but 
never shows me any brctl output.  

Go figure.

Been a long night.  I'm going to grab some sleep.
