I feel I am going around in circles.

Anyway, I started the discussion from 
<http://www.archivum.info/linux-fsdevel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/2008-06/msg00337.html>.

In the last message (which isn't archived yet), I looked at the Samba 
process that is holding the lease. The following is the stack trace of 
this process. I don't understand why the XFS code is calling e1000 code, 
the filesystem isn't attached via the network. Perhaps this would mean 
the problem is with the network code???

I guess I also need to make sure I get this same stack trace each time.

Thanks.
