Yes, it's possible - Redhat distributes a script called raid-check that
is a good example of this very thing.
Documentation/md.txt talks about 'check' and 'repair' as valid words for
sync_action in sysfs. The number of errors found will be reported to
mismatch_cnt. These can be found at /sys/block/md#/md for your array.
hth,
