Good news :)!

But I am a little bit confused. Since installation, I restarted my 
fileserver only once. And olthough it looked like a clean shutdown, 
there were a lot of complaints of the automatic fsck.ext2 at reboot. 
Afterwards the salvager was complaining like this:

-------------------------

So I assumed, that the automatic fsck.ext2 messed up something, that the 
salvager had to correct again afterwards.
Perhaps the shutdown was not that clean, like I thought it was. I have 
to check that!
