However, data is no more in danger at startup than it is at the moment
when btrfs notices a drive dropping, yet it permits IO to proceed. Is
there not a contradiction?
Personally I don't see why system startup should be a special case, in
particular as it can be very stressful situation to recover from when
RAID is there just to avoid the immediate reaction when hardware breaks;
and when in practice you can do the recovery while the system is running
in systems where short service interruptions matter.
