The last thing I see are 3 or 4 messages of the type: If this is an issue, it might make sense to have root be a tmpfs filesystem, and then have specific network mounts. Note--don't make "/var/log" network mounted, various apps default to trying to check for files there--if the server goes away, you can't log in/out.
