Ah, I thought it might not be known - I'm currently copying the files
since a read only mount is "good enough" for that

-o degraded should allow readwrite *IF* the data can be written to....
My question is also, would this keep me from "adding devices"?
I mean, it did seem like a catch 22 earlier, but that would really
make a mess of things...
