If NFS was exporting a GFS filesystem, then you will get the filesystem busy
error.  

I really don't know what to make of your "GFS-->NFS-->Samba" problem?
Yikes, is Samba exporting a NFS mount that is on GFS?  Seems pretty hairy to
me.  Your problem might lie with Samba if you are trying to run multiple
Samba servers (something that does not work with Samba).
