Thank you, that fixed it. I should have realized that I need to turn 
swap off beofre boot as it's been discussed on this list before. Shame 
on me :)

That must be it. I played around with the mirror before doing the final 
installation so there definetly might be something there hiding. Any way 
to remove those so they won't bother my logs anymore?

Also, if somebody could give some insight that is my choice for the 
balance algorithm (load) a sensible one? There seems to be little or no 
documentation about the subtle differences. (I'm not interested in 
thruput, just reliability and seek times...)
