Thanks for clarifying, Neil. I actually came across this on someone's blog explaining how they got RAID10 (with imsm metadata) up and running, and he mentions that he made sure to wait until resync was done before mounting. I did the same thing, thinking that maybe I might break something if I didn't.

Where did you hear it? Best approach is to try .. if it is not at all possible, then it won't work.
