Hi and thanks for all the hints.
The problem is solved in the following way:
- checking all cables and power-connectors -> no success => hda has bad sectors
- booting with a rescue cd based on gentoo
- synching again: it runs with errors but completes
- removing hda3 from the array md1
- check reiserfs on md1 => errors and the hint to use --rebuild-tree
- backup as much as possible from md1 unsing rsync -> works, only a few files can't be
   read
- running reiserfsck on md1 with build-tree => success
- hoping that I get a new hard-disk in short time :-)
Thanks again

By the way: is it possible to make a raid1 array SMALLER?
  I found hints howto get it bigger and the way seems very easy, but
  to shrink it? Reason: When I set up the server I have some people behind
  me, who mostly say: can't it be faster? - so I accepted the partions which are
  recommended by Suse (and which are not really suitable for my needs)
