Hi Mike,
this is a known issue with ReiserFS. As you might now, Ext2 and ReiserFS
have many differences and you are just experiencing one of them. The whole
problem is documented unter www.namesys.com (the homepage of ReiserFS)
so you will find the information you need there.
In general you have two options:
1) Moving the qMail partition back to ext2 (probably /var)
2) Patching qMail with the ReiserFS patch. (I think that one is available
through
a link on www.namesys.com too).
Just for your information: I have a linux box running qMail and I have
moved /home
which contains the pop-boxes to ReiserFS but /var remains ext2. This makes sure
that mail is securely stored once it is delivered and if your queue (or
the partition)
crashed you won't have much chances to restore it anyway.
Hope this help,
Lordy

Hello there.
I have been noticing slightly out of the ordinary things happening in my
qmail-send logs after changing the queue filesystem over to reiserfs.
I am seeing the same inode used for multiple messages. Is this normal?
(other users email has been blanked, as has all senders. mine is known
to all of you, so why bother typing to cover mine eh? )
