I've looked at the samba start script: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/samba and the file
"locking.tdb" is one of the files deleted before samba starts. Some more files
that genetates the error are also deleted, so information "No such file or
directory" is propper. Normally samba creates the files when starts, but
sometimes on FreeBSD generates PANIC.

I can't repeat the problem manually. Server's power unplug is not an option. TDB
files are deleted before samba starts and created when the one starts ... should
be created when doesn't exist. So why the error is
"tdb(/var/db/samba/locking.tdb): tdb_reopen: open failed (No such file or 
directory)"?  Why "PANIC (pid 43086): tdb_reopen_all failed."? I don't know how
completly to solve the problem :(
