Hi zeke561
Regarding limit, there shouldn't be any, it is more of how the resources are being accessed or used, since you mentioned that you have multiple clients accessing a resource all at the same time and the NAS doing services as well that uses your NAS memory but there are also other possible underlying issues that may cause this. Like authentication and other service that might need information from your users/AD.
Do you have specific time and date that the issue occurs? We can then track it from the logs.
You can try disabling quotas on the volume as a start.

Hi Marc_V
In the second set of logs that I sent, the problem was occuring ca. 8am on 5/1/2018. I was getting errors in winbind.log, and pam.log (at least). I was not having problems getting AD authentication w/ other machines, including a couple other Readynas machines. The problem cleared up as soon as I rebooted the machine exhibiting the problems. If I understand what I'm reading, smbstatus.log shows a bunch of files that are locked with "DENY_WRITE" property. This includes some directories, which I don't understand.
