Why would you not be happy? resyncs in general are bad since they indicate your data is possibly out-of-sync and the resync itself consumes an enormous amount of resources This is a feature of new-ish md driver code that more aggressively marks the array as "clean" after writes The end result is that the array will most likely be "clean" in all circumstances even a crash, and you simply won't need to resync That's a good thing! -Mike Kasper Dupont wrote: > I have a FC4 installation (upgraded from FC3) using kernel > version 2.6.15-1.1831_FC4.
