 I'm not sure if this would help here, but there is
 one bug which I just spotted which would affect writev from
 XFS. I wasn't passing the nr_segs down properly.

That fixes it, thanks.

Does rpm use readv/writev though? Or does the nfs server? not sure
how this change would affect the original problem report.
