[Linux-cluster] GFS crashing server during unlinks

We've built a reasonably large GFS in order to nearline our production
servers.  It's currently about 45Tb total and 80% full.  The only
unusual(ish) component to what we're storing there is a huge number of
hard links.

We're using dirvish in order to maintain incremental backups which uses
rsync to create hard links of the files to reduce the storage requirements.
Each night, it runs an expire command that deletes all files older than
10 days.  This runs into several million files which need to be unlinked
each day.

Pretty much every night, one of our two servers attached to the GFS will
crash and stack trace with the below output.  It appears that the unlink
command is where it's going wrong.  It has occasionally occurred during
the rsyncs (which run simultaneously) as well (although less often) so
we're wondering whether there's some issue with locking/linking.

Has anybody seen similar issues or have any good ideas?
Can we provide any more useful information?

Stephen
