Dovecot always renames files when moving from tmp/, you can't make it
use hard links. The maildir_copy_with_hardlinks is only about how to
copy messages from one mailbox to another, and it's enabled by default
in v1.1+.
Wonder if this affects rename() only when moving from one directory to
another, or also within a directory? So if you're out of inodes and
you change a message flag, does rename() succeed?

Hmm, looking at how postfix handles this, it hardlinks the files, so
I guess I could turn on hardlinking that way rename isn't used, and
won't get this error.
But probably still something to look into?

Looking into this some more, all the log entries that cause this

That looks weird. So this is with Linux as NFS client? What do you
use
as NFS server? To me this feels like NFS server bug..
