Clarification on CONTEXT: xlog redo xid assignment

Looking for some clarification on some log output. We are moving our
databases to
new physical machines. To do this we are taking zfs snapshots from the
slaves
copying the snapshots to the new machines and then restarting the new
machines
with a failover file.

The database is able to start and I can access it, run commands against it ,
create pg_dumps
and reload those without any errors. However I am getting the following
errors in the logs
at startup.

Dec 7 12:40:53 postgres[28199]: [ID 748848 local2.info] [1-1] LOG:

My questions are

1. What exactly is postgres doing here CONTEXT: xlog redo xid assignment
.....
and here LOG: file "pg_subtrans/8732" doesn't exist, reading as
zeroes

Is it possible we have some data corruption?

2. I am also wondering if the "database system was interrupted while in
recovery at log time 2011-12-07 00:32:49 PST"
message is due to taking the snapshots while the servers are running.
On launch
we will shut them down prior to taking the final snapshot.

Any help is appreciated.
