I have a partition set up as software RAID-1 on a CentOS 5.3 machine. 
Today, the system was rebooted, when it came back up I noticed that it 
had started to resync. It completes the sync, then immediately starts again.

 From the log:
Jul 29 09:46:02 cbserver kernel: md: syncing RAID array md2

speed: 5000 KB/sec/disc.

Any idea what is causing this? And how to make it stop?

Thanks!
