Hi, all. I'm getting some unusual messages, and I can't tell exactly what
is causing them, so I am hoping someone can interpret them for me. Although
these look to me like things that should not happen, my system has not
crashed at this point. I have the impression that this might be related to
mounting and unmounting with samba, but I'm not sure if that's the case.
It doesn't happen immediately after an unmount, but I think these might all
have been not long after one.

Kernel is 2.1.7, no modules. Let me know if anything else is relevant.
