I assume the missing changes are replcated from the active leg once you re-add the offlined disk. If mdadm fails a locally attached disk, you replace the disk. I don't see anything that lets you tell a san disk from a local one (there shouldn't be -- it's unix) so I'm wondering what mdadm will do if you keep re-adding a dead drive enough times. Maybe nothing. I do know disks have failure modes that can make the whole thing unpleasant. Like slowing the server down to a crawl.
