Well, that's a straight forward trace, and looks perfectly normal for
a delete operation. The buffer_head is locked at this point, and the
transaction itself is pinned, so I can't see any way to have an

How Samba let us down
...and a 15GB SCSI Mac/Samba file server (medium
usage). We also use Samba for more menial tasks like
smbmounts and file transfers. We thought we were
comfortable with Samba. We knew we were comfortable
with other types of file servers.
OUR SETUP
Going from my tired memory:
Athlon MP 1.8GHz (mem=nopentium)
2GB ECC SDRAM
Tyan S2460(I think?)
Antec 450W PS
Lots of cooling
5 IBM DeskStar 120GB drives with 8MB caches in RAID 5
3ware 7580(I think?) 8-port hardware RAID
3ware hot-swappable drive cages
Intel e1000 Gigabit NIC, full duplex, 1000MBit,
autonegotiation off
3com Gigabit switch, autonegotiation...
