yes, that is what I mean.
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. 

Is this a problem?

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.

Thanks again,
