Do you know /why/ the swap breaks on reconstruction?

Surely while it's reconstructing, and read/write requests to the device
are passed to the good remaining device.

This would mean that behaviour is the same for a degraded mirror as for a
reconstructing mirror.

Does this mean that swap would not only fail during reconstruction, but
also under degraded mode?

Regards,
