Can anyone explain the following:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] Maildir]# find . -mtime 365
find: ./new/1157652955.23772.mailserver: No such file or directory
find: ./new/1157652959.23788.mailserver: No such file or directory
(and about 10 more lines like this).

What I was looking for was old files (files >365 days since they were
last modified) in the maildir of a server with about 8GB in their
mailbox (I'm trying to clean it out!). To me the above suggests that
"find" found files in the directory listing that weren't actually there
when it went to look at them. Which suggests filesystem corruption. But
I'm flying blind here and could be completely wrong.

Assuming a filesystem check is needed, what can I safely do without
unmounting the drive? (It's ext3 on software raid, if that helps.)
