Since 05.28 this morning my client can not reach its mailserver. Up untill that time everything was normal. Now dovecot is shutdown and when starting it I get the error as shown below:
/etc/init.d/dovecot start
Starting dovecot: dovecot: error while loading shared libraries: libdovecot.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[FAILED]

/var/log/maillog shows a list of the errors as shown below.

Nothing has changed in the system, except for a reboot yesterday arround noon, after which I had to run fsck because there were errors in the filesystem. But after that reboot everything was normal. The customer has even send and recieved e-mail later yesterday night.

I hope someone can point me in the right direction to solve this problem.
 
Please try:
Code:
cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild
./build update
./build dovecot
 
Okay, no joy. Below the results:

/bin/sh: line 3: /usr/lib/dovecot/dovecot-config: Input/output error

You might be having issues with your HDD. Please run a HDD check for it.

I'm thinking that there's a bigger problem then just with dovecot. When I tried to reboot the machine to perform an fsck I got a kernel panic.
Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt
Pid: 16635, comm: reboot Tainted: G D --------------- 2.6.32-431.20.3.el6.x86_64 #1
Call Trace:
<IRQ> <EOI> _

It's not the first time this kernel panic occurred during reboot.
