This is the real error. What kind of a system do you have? Do you use NFS or other shared filesystem? Post your dovecot -n output?
Standard local disk partition. No NFS.

Shouldn't Dovecot be able to recover from this?
It does, that's why there are those "marked corrupted" errors. But it probably does cause the current operation to fail. v1.1 handles this by logging the error but continuing anyway, so the operation shouldn't fail.
If you mean that it repeatedly fails with the same error, then the same error condition is created over and over again for some reason.
Yes it repeatedly fails until I manually remove the index files. However after removing them it does not seem to reoccur.
Thanks Timo, Dan
