[CentOS] Automatical resync of MD, why?

When you cat /proc/mdstat does it actually say "syncing" or does it  
say "checking"? I believe a newer version of mdadm creates a weekly  
cron job to check the arrays. I first mistakenly assumed it was  
resyncing and started worrying since it was doing all 8 of my RAID1  
arrays at once, but after looking twice I saw it was actually just  
checking the arrays thanks to a new cronjob.

Regards,
Oliver
