The problem that you are seeing is probably not related to the journaling,
but it would be helpful if you could try running with just soft updates
to see if the problem goes away. To do this you need to unmount /sam
(or at least downgrade it to read-only), then run:

	tunefs -j disable /sam

Then remount /sam (or reenable writing) and use `mount' to verify that
it worked. Also `rm /sam/.sujournal'. Run with that configuration and
see if the problem persists.
