Perhaps there should be a note about that in md(4) or elsewhere? (sorry if I missed it) From the perspective of md, the initial sync is no different from any other sync. It will count the number of mismatches that it finds and fixes. Feel free to post a patch for md.4 or elsewhere to clarify this.

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! >> >> Stephan >> -- >> 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 > > > -- > 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
