MD Raid6 appears not-degraded during initial resync just after creation:

md106 : active raid6 sdbv1[7] sdbr1[6] sdbq1[5] sdbp1[4] sdbo1[3] 
sdbn1[2] sdbm1[1] sdbl1[0]
       3144938496 blocks super 1.2 level 6, 512k chunk, algorithm 2 
[8/8] [UUUUUUUU]
       [======>..............]  resync = 34.3% (179834012/524156416) 
finish=54.3min speed=105637K/sec

and also from sys filesystem:

cat /sys/block/md106/md/degraded
0

(kernel 3.14.19)

Is this normal?
