What does the IO wait look like on the system? Is this system under high load?
Only late at night when back up scripts are running. At this time though is when I start seeing the error from postfix.
You might want to check to make sure that syslog is not calling sync every time that it writes to file.
/etc/syslog.conf
Should be a "-' in front of /var/log/messages
Thanks. I have set this to -/var/log/messages now.
