[PATCH] md: allow a manual resync with md
You can trigger a 'check' with
echo check > /sys/block/mdX/md/scan_mode
or a check-and-repair errors with
echo repair > /sys/block/mdX/md/scan_mode
and read the current state from the same file.
Note: personalities need to know the different between 'check' and 'repair',
but don't yet. Until they do, 'check' will be the same as 'repair' and will
just do a normal resync pass.
