Hi,

I am running dovecot/postfix/amavisd within a jail on freebsd. I have a nullfs mounted within the jail that links back to an NFS server.

I am constantly getting these errors and my mail never gets delivered. I am hoping someone has a fix for me!

For some reason your FreeBSD doesn't support what Linux calls "silly rename files", i.e. those .nfsXXXXX files that get created when a file is unlink()ed but it's still referenced to in memory. I thought FreeBSD supported them.. But I remember hearing someone else having the same problem. Kind of an annoying problem with no good solutions..

Perhaps someone familiar with the intricacies of FreeBSD could post it on their mail forum and hopefully receive a response.
