After investigation, we found the problem to be an issue with the client-side file caches enabled by the opportunistic locking configured on the server. Because the Icebox system essentially uses a Samba server for SMB file serving, we reconfigured the smb.conf file to disable opportunistic locking. Disabling opportunistic locking does hurt performance slightly but doesn't affect the server otherwise. Land-5 is investigating the errors we encountered. The Icebox NAS offers tremendous scalability, with performance and availability to boot.
