How do I interpret:
      bitmap: 0/117 pages [0KB], 1024KB chunk
in the mdstat output

what does it mean when it's, eg: 23/117

cu:/huge# cat /proc/mdstat
Personalities : [linear] [raid0] [raid1] [raid5] [raid4] [raid6]
md0 : active raid5 sdf1[5] sde1[4] sdd1[3] sdc1[2] sdb1[1] sda1[0]
hdb1[6](S)
      1225543680 blocks level 5, 4096k chunk, algorithm 2 [6/6] [UUUUUU]
      bitmap: 0/117 pages [0KB], 1024KB chunk


David
