We should check that out first.
I'm not sure what you are seeing - it looks normal to me (since there are two RAID groups). But it is prudent to check before loading more data.

It would certainly be useful if the log would show which RAID group is re-syncing. Others have also asked questions regarding the second (or more) sync for a multi-group volume because the log does not explain why there is more than one sync.
Alternately, don't report completion of any sync until all groups are complete.
