It' s a completely new machine, installed december, 21 2003. The exact error in the logs is Jan 20 18:54:50 lxworksystem kernel: vs-3050: wait_buffer_until_released: nobody releases buffer (dev 68:07, size 4096, blocknr 3145728, count 3, list 0, state 0x10019, page c1568940, (UPTODATE, CLEAN, UNLOCKED)). Still waiting (-1710000000) JDIRTY !JWAIT and a smbd process is using 99% CPU. No Samba connect ist possible, ssh works so I could read the errors from /var/log/messages. Please let me know what I can do to solve this error as it's occurring now every 2-3 days! As I wrote before the machine is a HP Compaq ProLiant ML 350 G3 with 512 MB of memory, a Compaq Smart Array 641 with 128 MB cache and 4 discs (Compaq, I don't know the manufacturer) each 36 GB 10k rpm that are forming a hardware RAID5 array so the OS sees only one big drive with around 100 GB, and yes, the biggest partition with 87 G has about 46 GBs of data. Thank you in advance!

Sometimes (the first time ten days ago, the second time yesterday eventing) a smbd process seems to provocate a wait_buffer_until_released error. The smbd process is taking 100% of the CPU, no Windows client can do anything, but sshd works so I can connect. Unfortunately, I was not able to see the messages after the reboot. For the OS the drive is one big drive with about 100 G space.... Is there any patch or fix or something other I can do? Thank you very much!
