-This option only make sense if the logical volume being operated
-on is a mirrored logical volume. This option is used to
-resynchronize the devices in a mirrored logical volume. Since
-resynchronization can take considerable time and resources, you
-should consider using this option only if you have reason to
-believe that the devices in your mirror are no longer the same.
+Forces the complete resynchronization of a mirror. In normal
+circumstances you should not need this option because synchronization
+happens automatically. Data is read from the primary mirror device
+and copied to the others, so this can take a considerable amount of
+time - and during this time you are without a complete redundant copy
+of your data.
