ok, this explains things - the RAID driver reacted as expected. The
raid5.c 'bug' can be ignored, it does a state dump only. I will make the
double-disk failure more graceful, it makes no sense to play hardball at
that time anymore. We might be strict wrt. failures happening on a
redundant array, but if it's in degraded mode we should either shut the
array down immediately (as suggested before), or pass errors up, without
modifying the superblocks.
also i'll change disk failure messages to KERN_CRIT, maybe that makes them
stick out better.
