I use sernet-samba package (version 4.0.9-6) on Debian 7. Samba configured as additional AD controller. Samba process infinitely writes something to disk and makes high I/O load:
Total DISK READ: 0.00 B/s | Total DISK WRITE: 204.37 K/s
TID PRIO USER DISK READ DISK WRITE SWAPIN IO> COMMAND
140 be/3 root 0.00 B/s 0.00 B/s 0.00 % 58.45 % [jbd2/vda1-8]
4081 be/4 root 0.00 B/s 110.05 K/s 0.00 % 3.49 % samba -D
It is not logs, I think, because they relatively small.

data=journal and data=ordered takes no effect.
On second server (with same configuration) i/o seems normal.
How to find file which causes this problem, and how to fix it?
