Two things come to mind: 1- Sometimes fileservers are also db servers, and the 'connection timed out' was because I forgot to update CellServDB and restart the client. If you watch network traffic, you would see this as an attempt to connect to the old IP address but on the vlserver port, not the fileserver port. 2- I don't recall the interaction of open files and fs checkv, but there might be a bug there. That would be straightforward to test.
