I'd consider it somewhat of an advantage to learn that a drive was
failing while you had a good copy out of the machine since it is
something you really need to fix anyway. If you are going to mention
every possible obscure problem, I once (long ago) had a machine where
the RAM had a stuck bit making everything it wrote to disk unreliable
including the mirroring process. But I think modern hardware makes
that unlikely.
