CBsTimedOut is referring to Callbacks that have timed out since it's
been X seconds since the callback was issued, and it hadn't been broken
yet. The server only guarantees callback promises for a certain amount
of time before they are implicitly dropped.

It's not referring to a network timeout or anything; it's normal. If you
had a problem with reaching clients behind NATs or something, FileLog
should tell you about it.

And the only thing we're really looking at (or at least the only thing
I'm looking at) from xstat_fs_test -collID 3 are the GSS numbers.
They're all 0, so you're fine.
