The kernel fixes that, and then the access occurs. So this message is harmless, except that it costs you a little performance. > I find those records several times a day. What does this mean?

Sometimes an alignement problem hides other problems, but unless you note problems related to these messages (i.e., a malfunction whenever it occurs) I would not worry.
