This code (from postfix virtual transport program 'virtual' seems to cause the kernel message: newfile = concatenate(newdir, STR(buf), (char *) 0); if ((mail_copy_status = mail_copy(COPY_ATTR(state.msg_attr), dst, copy_flags, "\n", why)) == 0) { if (sane_link(tmpfile, newfile) < 0 && (errno != ENOENT || (make_dirs(curdir, 0700), make_dirs(newdir, 0700)) < 0 || sane_link(tmpfile, newfile) < 0)) { dsb_simple(why, mbox_dsn(errno, "4.2.0"), "create maildir file %s: %m", newfile); mail_copy_status = MAIL_COPY_STAT_WRITE; } } if (unlink(tmpfile) < 0) msg_warn("remove %s: %m", tmpfile); } /* sane_link - sanitize link() error returns */ int sane_link(const char *from, const char *to) { const char *myname = "sane_link"; int saved_errno; struct stat from_st; struct stat to_st; /* * Normal case: link() succeeds. */ if (link(from, to) >= 0) return (0); /* * Woops. Save errno, and see if the error is an NFS artefact. If it is, * pretend the error never happened. */ saved_errno = errno; if (stat(from, &from_st) >= 0 && stat(to, &to_st) >= 0 && from_st.st_dev == to_st.st_dev && from_st.st_ino == to_st.st_ino) { msg_info("%s(%s,%s): worked around spurious NFS error", myname, from, to); return (0); } /* * Nope, it didn't. Restore errno and report the error. */ errno = saved_errno; return (-1); } This seems like a regression to me since this used to work in 3.12.33 After the error, the mail is in /tmp/ of the mailbox but not moved to the /new/ dir. Also, courier-imapd fails to move mails from inbox to subfolders with the same error message, leaving the mails to move in /tmp/ so i suspect sane_link(tempfile, newfile) to have a problem within the current ocfs2_link().
