In the case of RAID1 (or even RAID10), what happens if loop0 is the
current master but is corrupted/dead and you want to mount loop1 to
recover your data?

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.
