I now have seen a recursive locking thing reported by the > new lock analyzer but that looks like it has to do with NFS (my home > directory is on NFS) so I don't think it is in any way related. Our setup also has user home directories on NFS, so that much at least is common to our configurations. I don't know if the USB/NTFS user was writing to their home directory as part of their work at the time of the oops though.
