Roberto,

I can't reproduce this on tip unstable. Tried both fragmented
UDP tx with ttcp and same NFS dd recipe with NFS over UDP and
8k r/w size. I even tried NFSoverTCP for good measure (since
your recipe didn't explicitly mount -o udp).

I notice you are running 2.6.16.27. Which xen linux patches
did you apply? Which changeset of xen-unstable?

I wonder what versions of netfront and netback you're using.
Have you tried tip of unstable with the latest gso patches?

Emmanuel.
