I know, why dovecot fails. And it's not only dovecot, also mysql, apache,
... This bug describes only one example, when I was able to make some logs.

My problem is, that command "sync" and may be similar kernel function called
from dovecot, mysql, ... stays in "D" state. File cache is not stored on my
media. I can read all changed data back from cache, but they are not stored
on disks. After reboot all data written to cache is lost.

May be my english is not perfect, I am sorry. :(
