If I just pull ad4 and then reinsert it without doing a reboot, everything 
works fine. The problem occurs when ad4 is pulled and then reinserted after the 
system is shutdown. When the system comes up, it doesn't get added back to the 
existing mirror but rather becomes the principal member of the mirror, using 
its old data. Not good.
