Thanks Bron / list  for your reply 
I am using cyrus-imapd-2.4.17-6.el6.x86_64  , with ext4 file system .
Just now the  issue has been resolved ,  I found  corruption with inode  level 
and few emails.  Some email was converted to binary file. 
Due to which  few mailboxes was corrupted .  Delivery or access of such mailbox 
was getting failed and Segmentation fault & core file was getting generated . 
After  identifying such mailbox manually ,  i moved those to  other path and 
removed all cyrus.* files ,  recreated the new mailbox and moved that all 
non-corrupted  emails  and reconstruct the same. Its seem my issue is resolved 
for now . For  next 1/2 days will monitor the flow and after that will shift 
the data with new LUN .  I Will verify the badblocks and will re-format the LUN 
with new fresh filesystem.
Do you know what could be the reason for below scenario :-- 
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I found one interesting point  with core.xxxx files , The sizing of such files 
with  du -sh & ls -lh was showing different . 
While doing the same file "cp" or "rsync" it was showing me different size.   
Also the inodes for "cp" file was less and inodes for "rsync" file was more.  
With Google I learn that cp & du work differently . 
I verified the same with another ext3 partition , but there sizing is showing 
proper. 
My question is , whether its normal behavior or related corrupted inode or file 
system ?  In tune2fs -l , filesystem showing clean.
Below is for reference scenario. 
[root@active ~]# rsync -av  /hacluster/varlib/imap/core.10236 
/hacluster/san-testing/by-rsync/
[root@active ~]# cp -p   /hacluster/varlib/imap/core.10236 
/hacluster/san-testing/by-cp/

[root@active ~]# ls -lh  /hacluster/san-testing/by-cp/core.10236  
/hacluster/san-testing/by-rsync/core.10236
