I once looked at the Samsung Contact software brochures (they keep trying to sell the stuff to me) but it is limited in the number of clients it can handle. I think it was about 200 or so, but I would not be able to consider such a thing as we have typically 800 to 1000 clients at times.

Sounds like a fsck of /dev/md5 may be in order (bring the machine to single user, then unmount it then run fsck as per man fsck). This may be the result of a previous bad shutdown, with fsck not set on reboot, or even a memory fault. Or a bad sector on the disk, which can be mapped out if you have
