What patch you have used ?

Lets check whether the syncer is the culprit for you.
Please, change the value of the syncdelay at the sys/kern/vfs_subr.c
around the line 238 from 30 to some other value, e.g., 45. After that,
check the interval of the effect you have observed.

It would be interesting to check whether completely disabling the syncer
eliminates the packet loss, but such system have to be operated with
extreme caution.

No.
