== Description ==
 
−
 
−
In some situations a raid device may indicate there is a count mismatch as listed in:
 
−
 
−
<pre>
 
−
/sys/block/mdX/md/mismatch_cnt
 
−
</pre>
 
−
 
−
Anything other than 0 is considered not good.  Though if the number is low it's probably nothing to worry about.  To correct this situation try the directions below

−
== Correction ==
 
−
 
−
More than anything these steps are to A) Verify there is no problem and B) make the error go away.  If step 1 and step 2 don't correct the problems, <b>PROCEED WITH CAUTION</b>.  The steps below, however, should be relatively safe.
 
−
 
−
=== Step 1 ===
 
−
 
−
Issue a repair (replace mdX with the questionable raid device):
 
−
 
−
<pre>
 
−
echo repair > /sys/block/mdX/md/sync_action
 
−
</pre>
 
−
 
−
Depending on the size of the array and disk speed this can take a while.  Watch the progress with:
 
−
 
−
<pre>
 
−
cat /proc/mdstat
 
−
</pre>
 
−
 
−
Once that's done proceed to Step 2.
 
−
 
−
=== Step 2 ===
 
−
 
−
Issue a check.  It's this check that will reset the mismatch count if there are no problems.  Again replace mdX with your actual raid device.
 
−
 
−
<pre>
 
−
echo check > /sys/block/mdX/md/sync_action
 
−
</pre>
 
−
 
−
Just as before, you can watch the progress with:
 
−
 
−
<pre>
 
−
cat /proc/mdstat
 
−
</pre>
