The output of 'smartctl -a' is a superset of 'smartctl -H'. Output of
the former is attached. I'm not sure whether mdadm is measuring blocks
or bytes.

If this were just one server, I'd be concerned that something is more
wrong than it should be, but given there are at least 3 servers, at 2
different sites, with different sorts of disks, and running different
distros and software, I'm less worried.

Do your systems do regular RAID checks to confirm there are no
mismatches, as opposed to you just not knowing about them?
