hmmm..... the remirroring code is not very smart... as I recall it
does the remirroring in order .. i.e. md0, md1, etc... This would
imply that if you have a power fail or other crash that causes both
md's to be faulty, the system will not be able to swap until md0,
then md1 is remirrored. The boot and swap md's should always be the
first two raid partitions under this scenario as they are very small
and will remirror quickly allowing swapping to proceed while the main
array remirrors.
