It'll be over the (newly set back to normal) minimum, but not over the maximum. I don't have the code in sight at the moment ... doesn't it use the max as a highwater mark, then? Anyway, one could take the min back down to normal slowly. Halving the difference every group of sectors resynced might be OK.
