Hello

Today the below quoted messages started to appear about every couple of
hours and scare me.=20

Can you give me any hint which one is the cause and which the result, is
NFS corrupting Postfix or Postfix broken and doing illegal NFS
operations? What could be the reason, badblocks? A kernel bug? What to do=
?

thanks in advance,

P.S.: A short description of the system:
Two servers are connected via crosslink cable and intel etherexpress
gigabit cards. Both have a mail partition that is synced in realtime via =
DRBD.
One has a NFS server exporting this DRBD share. Both have mounted this
NFS share to write their Postfix' mail data in different directories.=20
(Rationale: If one server fails, the data itself is present on the other
server)
