I start the check _after_ the resync. Actually, maybe this is not correct, I keep running something like: watch cat /proc/mdstat /sys/block/md2/md/mismatch_cnt So I can see real-time, so to speak, the check progress and the mismatch count, just to have an idea on where, on the RAID, the mismatches could be located.

It is an up-to-date Fedora 10, i.e. kernel-2.6.27.15-170.2.24.fc10 and mdadm-2.6.7.1-1.fc10.
