Hello!
I have raid1 array with bitmap (md3), one disk has died, been replaced
and array resynced:
Aug 25 15:38:03 gamma2 kernel: [ 5.986791] md: md3 stopped.
Aug 25 15:38:03 gamma2 kernel: [ 6.043306] raid1: raid set md3
active with 1 out of 2 mirrors
Aug 25 15:38:03 gamma2 kernel: [ 6.044378] md3: bitmap initialized
from disk: read 2/2 pages, set 357 bits
Aug 25 15:38:03 gamma2 kernel: [ 6.044442] created bitmap (22
pages) for device md3
Aug 25 15:38:03 gamma2 kernel: [ 6.070492] md3: detected capacity
change from 0 to 1478197903360
Aug 25 15:38:03 gamma2 kernel: [ 6.070862] md3: unknown partition table
Aug 26 19:33:33 gamma2 kernel: [100325.814179] md: md3: recovery done.
Now, /proc/mdstats still shows "dirty" bitmap, 16 of 22 pages:
root@gamma2:~# cat /proc/mdstat
Personalities : [raid0] [raid1] [raid6] [raid5] [raid4] [raid10]
md3 : active raid1 sdc3[1] sdb3[0]
1443552640 blocks [2/2] [UU]
bitmap: 16/22 pages [64KB], 32768KB chunk

That is strange as I can understand.
