This is quite clear and more specific below, however: two HDs which work 
as a gmirror.

Interesting question. Right now I don't know. If you think it's worth I 
might try and find out.

Hmm. Any pointer? I'd like to have more insight before I try and fiddle 
with that.
Besides, as I said, I don't even well realize wether these are errors or 
what.

Unfortunately I have no dmesg.boot on my system, only dmesg.today and 
dmesg.yesterday. I'd be very happy if someone could suggest how to set 
it up like that.
However, I can easily go back to logcheck mails, and here is the dmesg 
on boot:

I hope what I provided is enough; until now I did not have physical 
access to the machine. In case 'boot -v' is really needed, I'll arrange.
