What about the RRD side of things? 

After a recent upgrade of the NAS firmware and the debian server, I
found problems with the nfs mounted filesystem, so I went to cifs, which
for the most part appeared to work fine, apart from RRD not being able
to get a lock:

2011-08-07 01:09:56 Cpool is 228.88GB, 203829 files (37 repeated, 4 max
chain, 4679 max links), 4369 directories

ERROR: could not lock RRD

I'm back to trying out nfs again.

Peter.
