We have all the servers here mirrored, but the servers do not generally
have four disks internally. So I break the mirrored pair and upgrade
on only a single drive. I'm exposed while the upgrade is going on,
but as you pointed out I have a built-in fallback method. If the app
does not run in production with the new OS version, I boot back to
the original os and re-mirror.
