If its resyncing that means it detected an error, right?
   

Not a disk error.  'resyncing' means that at startup it looked like
the array hadn't been shutdown properly so it is making sure that all
the redundancy in the array is consistent.

So it looks like you machine recently crashed (power failure?) and
it is restarting.

There is always the possibility that shutdown scripts don't do the right 
thing, as well. I believe one of the major distros showed this problem 
within the last few months, depending on the RAID options used.
