You are of course aware that this is not real safe...

Maybe we should throw a "stop using NFS" if we get an EINTR from
read()/write(), or explain what NFS options they should avoid.

Err, some of us use NetApp filers as NFS servers for our PG data, and I believe that that negates at least some of the risk. I don't want to see
us (PG) not support something just because it *MAY* be unsafe.
