Ok so I am scrambling the egg. Understood.
But what you suggest is still getting the H1N1 into the second egg via the
re-mirror process???
Either way this doesn't seem good. With maybe the exception of a USB Boot
Scanner...

Yikes!
That will still break the mirror. Or worse, give you two divergent
mirror members which the RAID implementation *doesn't* recognize are
different, and scramble the filesystem.
RAID works at the disk block level, and is unaware of filesystem
semantics. The OS and filesystem implementation are unaware of what
RAID does. The OS/FS may write filesystem blocks in *completely
different* places, despite you giving similar inputs.
You could pick one drive, clean that drive, reinsert that drive, and
tell the RAID implementation to re-mirror from that drive to the other
one.
