Okay, thanks.  It seems the NFS client is retrying writes, sometimes
a fragment or two is missing (so a retry is needed), but sometimes
I can't seen anything missing and the client still retransmits the Write
command: [RPC retransmission of #1657]V3 WRITE Call

The client is a Dreambox 7025 running linux, mount options look like this:

foo:/media on /media/hdd type nfs 
(rw,v3,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,hard,udp,lock,addr=foo)
