Aah, the clue seems to be in the kernel logs:
[669348.274368] md7: bitmap file is out of date (0 < 38029) -- forcing full recovery
[669348.299174] created bitmap (15 pages) for device md7
[669348.316720] md7: bitmap file is out of date, doing full recovery
[669348.380555] md7: bitmap initialized from disk: read 1 pages, set 29809 of 29809 bits

If I got the math right, 30K bits for 8TB is one bit per 266MB.

Given that, I'm going to assume that this is not going to impact system
performance much for most operations.

Is my assumption and conclusion correct?

Thanks,
Marc
