I would highly suggest not doing that.  Mail processing / storage is
quite possibly the worst-case application for PVFS or PVFS2, and most
definately not what it is designed for.  

In this case, it is possible that postfix is attempting to lock files
using flock(), which is not supported on PVFS2.
