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.
