Hi, Update...
When we first set up the samba client connection we used smbfs (old habit). This resulted in a large number of random IO errors (including the "premature end of data segment" errors). We tested one file in detail - it was ok on the server and truncated on the client. We then switched to cifs. This fixed all errors except the "premature end of data segment" errors. After further investigation we discovered that the failing files were truncated on the server filesystem. Restoring from a backup fixed the problem. All files converted reliably using cifs. Our thinking is that the smfs client somehow resulted the server truncating files. We have not seen any further problems with cifs.
