The RAID array breaks (does not work, because disks are out of sync),
and you can keep the pieces as a keepsake, I guess :)

By the way. Does it mean, that performing a clean shutdown/boot
sequence can result in an array requiring a resync? If this is the
case, could you point me to arguments supporting this change of
behaviour of shutdown process? I see no obvious reason and crave
understanding.
