you can check dmesg. The following means the beginning and ending of
recovery:
   md: recovery of RAID array md0
   md: md0: recovery done.

Also, you can get more information with 'mdadm -D /dev/md0'
syncing:
     Number   Major   Minor   RaidDevice State
        0       8        0        0      active sync   /dev/sda
        3       8       48        0      spare rebuilding   /dev/sdd
        1       8       16        1      active sync   /dev/sdb
        2       8       32        2      active sync   /dev/sdc

sync success:
     Number   Major   Minor   RaidDevice State
        3       8       48        0      active sync   /dev/sdd
        1       8       16        1      active sync   /dev/sdb
        2       8       32        2      active sync   /dev/sdc

        0       8        0        -      faulty   /dev/sda
