Re: nonzero mismatch_cnt with no earlier error

Perhaps,

The way it works (I believe is as follows)

1. echo check > sync_action
2. If mismatch_cnt > 0 then run:
3. echo repair > sync_action
4. Re-run #1
5. Check to make sure it is back to 0.

I did a resync since, which ended up with the same mismatch_cnt of 184.
I noticed that the count *was* reset to zero when the resync started,
but ended up with 184 (same as after the check).

I thought that the resync just calculates fresh parity and does not
bother checking if it is different. So what does this final count mean?

This leads me to ask: why bother doing a check if I will always run
a resync after an error - better run a resync in the first place?
