Degraded RAID1 would be a RAID1 array (mirror disks) in which at least
one drive has failed. As long as at least a single healthy disk
remains, the RAID1 array should remain functional but requires to be
mounted with the 'degraded' mount option (this is done to flag that
there is a serious problem that needs to be addressed, e.g., replace the
faulty drive).

Testing on a live system should provide extra confidence that the patch
work as advertised. I have done so on my machines for a while (there's
also a system test), but I'd like to know if it works for someone else
:-).
