The array is 'unclean', presumably due to a system crash. The parity isn't certain to be correct so your data isn't safe against a device failure. You *want* this resync. If you are using 2.6.14 to later you can try turning on the write-intent bitmap (mdadm --grow /dev/md0 --bitmap=internal). That may impact write performance a bit (reports on how much would be appreciated) but will make this resync-after-crash much faster.
