I did a little research on the Reiser mailing list. I realized that the error was happening because of the Reiser patch I installed. This code that was failing was not in the original qmail source. It appears that because of qmails speed at sending out mails, the link that is made by: if (link(intdfn,todofn) == -1) die(66); at the end of qmail-queue.c is gone because the mail gets sent before the code from the Reiser Patch can fsync it. I know I still need the fsync, but I am not going to be worried about the error if the link cannot be fsync'ed since it is most likely gone because it has been sent. So I changed the code from the patch: if ((fd = open(todofn, O_RDONLY)) >= 0 || fsync(fd || close(fd)) die(66); to: /* fsync the data on ReiserFS drives */ if ((fd = open(todofn, O_RDONLY)) >= 0 ) { fsync(fd); close(fd); } Now, I get no errors.
