Yes, we have seen this problem but really aren't sure that it is
associated with NFS or the particular device that the data was being
written to (or some nasty interpay between the two).

I heard a explaination that a possible cause for NFS problems was that NFS
turns off check sums on the UDP packets it sends.  I verified that this is
indeed the case by looking at the packet headers.  I'd like to turn check
summing on to see if it helps.  Does anyone know how to do this?
