It's a slightly older P3B-F board with Intel IDE. It's not my system, but it
has been running fine as long as I can remember.

The IDE disk layout is:
IDE pri: HD + HD
IDE sec: CD + HD
The RAID is constructed from IDE primary master + secondary slave. (40 + 30 GB
disks)

Hm, wherever. ;) The problem manifested itself right after a reboot. Postfix
complained at boot about dirs in spool/postfix not owned by postfix and at
some point the fs was remounted ro. I dunno where to look, maybe it's indeed
MD RAID + ext3 like Andreas pointed out?
