Hi all, Is it normal to get any mismatch_cnt > 0 during the initial sync? I just created a few new new raid6 volumes, and one of them is showing an increasing number of mismatch_cnt during its initial resync. Nothing is visible in the console nor after a smart short test (I also started a long test just in case). $ mdadm --detail /dev/md7 /dev/md7: Version : 1.2 Creation Time : Mon Apr 24 10:07:18 2017 Raid Level : raid6 Array Size : 62511163904 (59615.29 GiB 64011.43 GB) Used Dev Size : 7813895488 (7451.91 GiB 8001.43 GB) Raid Devices : 10 Total Devices : 10 Persistence : Superblock is persistent Intent Bitmap : Internal Update Time : Mon Apr 24 14:52:12 2017 State : clean, resyncing Active Devices : 10 Working Devices : 10 Failed Devices : 0 Spare Devices : 0 Layout : left-symmetric Chunk Size : 64K Resync Status : 24% complete Name : oak-io1-s2:7 (local to host oak-io1-s2) UUID : 6ece9d71:a97f9497:4612ed73:44dfdc0a Events : 3308 Number Major Minor RaidDevice State 0 253 62 0 active sync /dev/dm-62 1 253 63 1 active sync /dev/dm-63 2 253 72 2 active sync /dev/dm-72 3 253 75 3 active sync /dev/dm-75 4 253 89 4 active sync /dev/dm-89 5 253 87 5 active sync /dev/dm-87 6 253 119 6 active sync /dev/dm-119 7 253 97 7 active sync /dev/dm-97 8 253 103 8 active sync /dev/dm-103 9 253 107 9 active sync /dev/dm-107 $ cat /sys/block/md7/md/sync_completed 3795284824 / 15627790976 $ cat /sys/block/md7/md/mismatch_cnt 3424 versions: mdadm-3.4-14.el7_3.1.x86_64 CentOS7 (3.10.0-514.10.2.el7_lustre.x86_64) Thanks!
