Thank you for the reply! ---  I have upgraded the Kernel and it still
seems to be throwing errors.  Details follow:

Distro: Ubuntu 22.10.
Upgraded kernel using mainline (mainline --install-latest)

# uname -a
Linux instance-20220314-1510-fileserver-for-overlay
6.1.8-060108-generic #202301240742 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Tue Jan 24
08:13:53 UTC 2023 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

On mount I still get the following notice in syslog (representative):
Jan 30 19:11:46 instance-20220314-1510-fileserver-for-overlay kernel:
[   71.613334] overlayfs: null uuid detected in lower fs '/', falling
back to xino=off,index=off,nfs_export=off.

And on access (via samba) I still see the following errors in the
syslog (representative):
Jan 30 19:19:34 instance-20220314-1510-fileserver-for-overlay kernel:
[  539.181858] overlayfs: failed to retrieve lower fileattr (8020
MeOHH2O RecoverySample2-20221219-A-JJL-WebinarHilic10C-TOF-TT54-Neg-1722.d/Storage.mcf_idx,
err=-38)

And on the Windows client, the software still fails with the same symptomology.
