We're using these odd ports, because there's still courier-imap on the original ports.
One, just one (!) of our users gets:
May 14 16:47:17 postamt dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<username>, method=PLAIN, rip=141.42.x.y, lip=ip.of.the.server May 14 16:47:17 postamt dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<username>, method=PLAIN, rip=141.42.x.y, lip=ip.of.the.server May 14 16:47:17 postamt dovecot: IMAP(username): maildir_file_do(/var/admhome/username/Maildir) racing May 14 16:47:17 postamt dovecot: IMAP(username): Disconnected: Internal error occurred. Refer to server log for more information. [2007-05-14 16:47:17]
Now it's a bit hard for me to see what's going on. /var/admhome/username/Maildir is on /, thus:
$ mount /dev/cciss/c0d0p6 on / type ext3 (rw,errors=panic)
$ dmesg does not complain about any corruption
