dmraid -tay "nosync" on an "ok" mirror?

With dmraid, why does [dmraid -tay] print ..."nosync" to the screen for
a mirror?

Dmraid activate.c checks to see if the status is "inconsistent" or
"nosync" and if it is neither of those will print "nosync".  If it is
one of those two, it will print "sync".  In my case the status is
actually "ok", so it prints "nosync".

Am I getting confused on an unfortunate usage of "nosync"?

Thanks,

Jason
