I believe mismatch count doesn't show up in the kernel. The mismatch
count shows where data can be read clearly from the disks but the
computed parity does not match the read parity (or the mirrors
disagree). If the drive reports an actual error then the block is
recomputed and not left as mismatch.
So this would be caused by a bit flipping in ram (cpu, controler or
disk) before being written to the platter, flipping in the cable or
flipping on the platter. Or software.
I currently only have mismatches on raid1. In both cases on a device
containing swap on lvm, which I think is the culprit. Lucky me.
