 Update:
 Took apart and reassembled every pice of my system to find the problem. Tried
 all combinations of disk combos on different controllers and found only this:
 one older drive was ATA REV 4, the other REV 5.
 
 Drives are on a different bus (ata1 , other drive ata2), both as slaves.
 Master drives are identical.
 
 Only in this configuration the error occurred. I replaced both drives and all
 is going well. On same cables, so this is not the prob this time :)
 Looks like a very mystic mirror, but most likely faulty and/or old hardware
 was the cause.
