Yep.

Once I reconfig'd the hardware and checked the cables in the system on boot the number is now 0. (which makes sense at boot - but is creepy) I put a monitor into munin which I'll be watching closely for when it changes.

BUT... I think I did find the problem. The card was running hot due to airflow. That's been remedied (I hope) -- the temp sensor on the heat-sink for the PCIe controller now sits around 45'C which is fine. Before it was >= 60'C . :O

Thanks again everyone,

p.s. The Linux RAID Wiki doesn't cover mismatch_cnt at all.... would be kinda nice considering how critical (or not) this is... and what to do about it.
