Huh? The checksums permit detecting that the two devices are inconsistent, and the duplication lets you repair the copy with the failing checksum. Whether this happens during normal array I/O, or only during a resync operation is another matter, but the infrastructure is present to perform a consistency check. -Tom -- Tom Metro Venture Logic, Newton, MA, USA "Enterprise solutions through open source."
