Hi Neil,

In man -l mdadm-2.5.6/md.4 I read

"Firstly, after an unclear shutdown, the resync process will consult the 
bitmap and only resync those blocks that correspond to bits in the bitmap 
that are set. This can dramatically increase resync time."

IMHO, "increase" should be changed to "decrease" or "time" to "speed". 
  

Probably better to say "unclean" than "unclear" shutdown as well.
