Did you reach 100% in the filesystem ?

Well first stop samba and check that you don't have any tdb open (sudo 
lsof | grep tdb), it's highly possible that you have some corrupted tdb.

If there is no open file then you can first try to clean file in 
/run/samba and in /var/cache/samba (location on ubuntu) when samba is off.
