Given that I plan to delete the file, I guess it doesn't matter how the mismatch is fixed? Yes. That's the point of repair :-) It locks the stripe, recalculates, and rewrites the parity. If you're going to dump the file anyway, that's fine. Actually, you'd probably fix the problem by rewriting the file, because that would near enough do the exact same thing.
