Hi,

So for clarity - what you're saying is if one of the servers drops a disk 
from it's graid RAID1 array (for whatever reason) while writing, the error 
could 'bubble up' and have the UFS code panic, because of it? (even though 
the write would have completed on the other drive)?

Is the same true for reads?
