Have you considered unplugging the drives, and re-plugging them in the
opposite order? Of course that may entail fiddling with grub so drive 2
is drive 1, so to speak.
No, I don't want to do that because each drive is in fact a raid array
with two physical disks each and I don't know what the raid controller
would do if I swap the disks.
