Hi,

what is this kind of error's meaning?

Usually it means your data is corrupted. Some possible reasons are:

- bad sectors or media deficiencies
- power failures or fluctuations that affected the drive and/or the controller
- bad cables
- bugs, either in hardware (motherboard, controller) or software (geli).

It's impossible to tell which one of these is more likely without more information (e.g. did you receive any other messages, such as CRC errors on the drive?)
