Neil, Is the value of 'resync_mismatches' suppose to be random after the creation of an array and its completion of the initial resync? Sometimes it is 0 and other times it is not. I has the right value after a subsequent check is run, but I would think that it should be 0 after creation/init and before any check/repair. brassow -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
