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.
