One of the discoveries of the Edinburgh Hackathon was that whilst rxosd has 
mirroring, it doesn't have any mechanism for keeping the mirrors in sync. This 
means that if a single OSD goes offline from a mirror, when it comes back up 
you have data consistency problems. As there is no data version stored on the 
OSDs, recovering from this is hard, as you don't know which OSDs have the 
'correct' data, and which have out-of-date data.

Cheers,

Simon.
