The problem does not occur with raid1. In that case, both copies
are updated and either can mount. For raid10, 2 of the 4 devices
should always be mountable (you still have to find which 2).
The "guess who is the mountable device" problem occurs on raid0
and on the (not yet in-tree) raid5/6. Better error recovery is
one of the projects that needs to be done.
