I just remembered that the sdb leg of the main array has write-mostly flag
set. I checked /proc/mdstat from running system and it turns out that now
I have both legs marked so. Does this ring a bell?
cat /proc/mdstat
Personalities : [raid1]
md2 : active (auto-read-only) raid1 sdb3[0]
425862712 blocks super 1.2 [2/1] [U_]

md0 : active raid1 sda1[0] sdb1[1]
123892 blocks super 1.2 [2/2] [UU]
