The continuation, as promised:
Most of the problematic files had something to do with Maildirs. I have a
script that runs daily and checks the home directory usage. We don't have
quotas but like to monitor home directory space consumption. My script
e-mailled me this (and this is how I found out about the problem):

And the list goes on and on and on with Maildir entries and some MSIE
cache stuff. Thank God this is not our Samba data repository. Mail is
critical but I can live with losses.
I am using Linux kernel 2.4.7 that was made from a CVS snapshot dated
20010726. I have not yet upgraded the server's kernel to the latest CVS,
although two of my Linux workstations are running 2.4.8-pre2. I'd rather
not risk it further. I'm hoping there aren't any major issues with the CVS
copy as of my snapshot date. This was running pretty smoothly until now.
Maybe it has something to do with the 3ware controller? I hope not.
Another observation: I cannot unmount any mounted XFS partition. None of
them (I have five). I did an "lsof /home" and nothing was shown. What
could be wrong?
Some other things that may be related:
o Debian unstable
o devfsd_1.3.11-7
o xfsprogs_1.3.3-0
o nfs-kernel-server_0.3.2-2
