Most of the filesystem and storage options are managed inside dom0, not in Xen 
itself.  So, any practices that you'd apply to managing a stand-alone Linux 
system (assuming that's what you're running for your dom0), including NFS 
timeout values, are going to be true in a Xen dom0 environment, as well.  This 
may change a little if you're running stubdoms, but the point remains - Xen 
itself does little more than brokering the hardware requests for multiple 
domains, and dom0 takes care of most of the hardware management.

Perhaps you could explain in a little more detail the problem you're having and 
what you're trying to solve...
