Hi Guruz,

Thanks for the help!

At the end I was brave enough to issue the metaclear
-a, metadb -d commands.
That solved the problem and deleteted all of the
entries from the meta database without any data loss.
Then I just had to start to mirror the disks again
from
scaratch.

Thanks again!

Regards,

John
