I'm afraid I don't REALLy know, but I suspect if I looked into the
latest version of mdadm, the option would be there to manipulate things
like that.

Err - I think you are trying to dictate the direction in which resync is
done? I'm pretty sure that everything should work right automatically.
The event cunt on the primary will be old, so it will be resynced from
the secndary when the primary is brought into the mirror.

But you can always force such things with mkraid --dangerous-no-resync
followed by a bit of setfaulty, remove, and add.
