Once the system is up and running, the kernel should copy the primary
drive's contents to the secondary one's over time. Eventually they will
actually be in sync and used normally, but currently there is no process
to update the metadata on disk. I would say break out a hex editor and
modify the metadata to indicate that the array is in a clean state.
