Package: mdadm
Version: 2.5.6-7
Severity: normal



My RAID1 arrays get checked by checkarray the first sunday of every 
month (default mdadm configuration, I think).

I have noticed that /sys/block/md1/md/mismatch_cnt reports a count of 
128 unsynchronized blocks. checkarray does not report or fix this issue.
Doing the same manually (echo check >/sys/block/md1/md/sync_action) does
not fix the issue either - mismatch_cnt is reset to 0 at the start of 
the resync, and goes up to 128 somewhere between 40% and 50% of the 
resync.

I believe checkarray should be made to report this issue, as my 
understanding was that the point of checkarray was to help with 
unsynchronized arrays ???

smartctl -a does not report any issues on either devices the RAID1 is 
based on.

I just noticed today that mdadm.conf only lists 3 of my 5 RAID1 volumes,
I do not know why (I did not edit the file after it was auto-generated).
