I am assuming that you are referring to messages from the Engine (as a
result of running the Gui or commandline.

Could you please run "evmsgui -d everything" and send me the
/var/log/evmsEngine.log file that is created.  Also could you send the
output of /proc/evms/mdstat.

Also if you could look in /var/log/message and send the section where you
see "evms: md_core..." messages.

Since these file could be large you can send them to me directly at
sl...@us...
