Unforgiving Software Raid (2.4.20)

[Matthew Carpenter]

Does this strike anyone else as rather nasty?  

	md: kicking non-fresh hda3 from array!


Here's the context:
	md: created md3
	md: bind<hda3,1>
	md: bind<hdc3,2>
	md: running: <hdc3><hda3>
	md: hdc3's event counter: 0000002c
	md: hda3's event counter: 0000002a
	md: superblock update time inconsistency -- using the most recent one
	md: freshest: hdc3
	md: kicking non-fresh hda3 from array!
	md: unbind<hda3,1>
	md: export_rdev(hda3)

In my old Novell days, this behavior would send NetWare into rebuild mode.  
Instead of just booting the offender, it recovered.  Perhaps I can see a 
reason for having this behavior, but is there any way to tell the Linux 
kernel to bite the bullet and resync the disks?

Thanks!
Matt

ps.  This is from SuSE 8.2 so I can understand that it's a bit dated (2.4.20).
