Yeah, but the funny part is, that the device /dev/mapper/nvidia_eaibbhgb, which is a raid array made by the sda and sdb! And it contains no block error at all :S

Could it be linux which doesn't understand my nforce3's way to partitioning a softraid device out of sda and sdb? Because when you fdisk'ing sda and sdb it looks kinda funny. But when you fdisk the nvidia_eaibbhgb it looks normal, with normal partitions.

So couldn't I just ignore the error message of sda?

When you created a filesystem on the device did you check for badblocks? It may take a little extra time (or maybe even a lot of extra time), but in the end it is well worth it. Even now I would go ahead and run badblocks.

I did a badblock check on the /dev/mapper/nvidia_eaibbhgb raid array (The array contains sda and sdb). And it was negative. No blockerrors. So the errors reportet on sda, may be a fault from Linux's site? Maybe it just doesnt reconise the partition table used by softraid drivers on the nforce3 mainboard.?.
