Huh?  I was under the impression that this was for catastrophic write
issues (no paths to storage at all) not just one side of a mirror being
down?  I run mostly zraid2 and have not tested mirror breakage but am I
wrong in assuming that like any other mirroring system (hw or software)
when you lose one side of a mirror for writes that the expected result is
the filesystem stays online and error free while the disk(s) in question
are marked as down/failed/offline?
