A excerpt from the logs to show actual error messages could be
helpful.

Thanks,

Hmmm...
Directories and symlinks "changing" to regular files.

32bit inode numbers with the high bit set.

Random times, but a burst at 3pm one afternoon.

The fact that it happens so rarely make is very hard to collect more
data....


What happens when a user experiences an error?
well, sometimes it shows up as a read/write error (that is the error code returned by the application).
SVN tend to be more verbose (although I have no examples)
What sort of file is
the error reported against?
It does not to my knowledge only happen to certain classes of files, although it does seem to happen most often when lots of files are being created.
Does the file remain inaccessible or does
it start working again soon?
No data, maybe Thomas knows something.
Is the same file accessible from another
client?
No data, esp as it never happens to me personally.
