When using ocfs2 on 3.17.4 (i have seen this since 3.14) and
mount-bind ocfs2 to a lxc-container, when postfix inside the lxc tries to
write mails to ocfs2 dir using virtual transport, kernel says:

[ 3812.352564] (virtual,25186,3):ocfs2_link:812 ERROR: status = -2

In 3.12 this did not happen.

This code (from postfix virtual transport program 'virtual' seems to cause the
kernel message:

        newfile = concatenate(newdir, STR(buf), (char *) 0);
        if ((mail_copy_status = mail_copy(COPY_ATTR(state.msg_attr),
                                          dst, copy_flags, "\n",
                                          why)) == 0) {
            if (sane_link(tmpfile, newfile) < 0
                && (errno != ENOENT
                    || (make_dirs(curdir, 0700), make_dirs(newdir, 0700)) < 0
                    || sane_link(tmpfile, newfile) < 0)) {
                dsb_simple(why, mbox_dsn(errno, "4.2.0"),
                           "create maildir file %s: %m", newfile);
                mail_copy_status = MAIL_COPY_STAT_WRITE;
            }
        }
        if (unlink(tmpfile) < 0)
            msg_warn("remove %s: %m", tmpfile);
    }

This seems like a regression to me since this used to work in 3.12.33
