I didn't catch the AIX ver, but there could be several issues from
downlevel bos.rte.filesystems to a need for fsck on the fs in question.

I wonder if the smbd exceeded 256MB of real memory. There's a default one
segment limit and if there is a leak in bos.rte.lvm, bos.rte.libc or
bos.ret.filesystems code, it could take a loooooong time to find. I'd
upgrade the AIX machine to the latest maintenance level and try again :-)
