Ok, I looked at "man gmirror", but found nothing for my 5.2.1 system. As 
you mentioned, gmirror is for 5.3 only.

I missed "man atacontrol", sorry for this. Now I've looked at its man page, 
looks good. Only one problem: man page says that I can only rebuild an 
RAID1 array on RAID capable ATA controllers. But I have no such "real" ATA 
controller. How can I replace a faulty disk with atacontrol on a normal 
ATA controller then?

Thanks for your help, Emanuel!
Greetings, Matthias
