[PROBLEM]
I re-created Linux software RAID partitions md1 & md2, using "mdadm --create ...".
Everything went as it should, but looking at "/proc/mdstat" returned a PENDING synchronization state:
[SOLUTION]
Convincing the Kernel software RAID to start the resync can be done with this command:
(Replace the N in "mdN" with your RAID device index)
