Shouldn't need to - I just recalled having seen some strange problems 
long ago when 'tweaking' some vfs sysctls, and wondering if you had 
possibly done the same.

I'm curious to know if just local heavy writes would cause the problem, 
or if it has to be through NFS.  Also, possibly adding the 'sync' option 
to the fs mount point could change things..

I'm not sure what those things would tell us for sure, but they would be 
interesting none-the-less.
