I searched the issues, but haven't found a real lead into one direction yet.

The symptoms reported in the message and those observed in different events 
with Ubuntu lucid are nearly identical and could be summed up:
* Rapid reboot or hard halt
* No errors with fsck at normal bootup
* Tools report "stale nfs lock", ls looks exactly like the one posted in the 
message
* Forced fsck fixes errors, but file is lost (sometimes file parts appear in 
lost+found)
 
I think it is quite likely, that the reporter observed the same problem.

OK, so Ubuntu should be up to date. I created a virtual instance to try to 
reproduce it with a 20MB jfs filesystem, but no success so far. I could 
reproduce the root note corruption reported In another post, but that trashed 
only the /usr directory but did not lead to stale nfs locks so far.

No ubuntu comes with
ii  jfsutils       1.1.12-2.1     utilities for managing the JFS filesystem

No, everything seems normal, but I might search the logs again for any 
anomalies.
