Bug Description

18:55 < lifeless> its just that until the initial metadata is written, you could get a state where lmirror thinks you have a mirror set
18:56 < lifeless> but the mirrorset is actually fully defined
18:56 < lifeless> like - it has to mkdir .lmirror/sets/<name>, and write to .lmirror/sets/<name>/set.conf
18:57 < lifeless> if you interrupt it between those two, its in a bit of a limbo
18:57 < lifeless> File a bug - we can definitely write up what needs to be manually removed to clean up something that is interrupted too early

summary: - Document cleanup of broken mirror state
+ Document cleanup of incomplete mirror state

A few other steps:
making metadata dir
writing initial zero-journal and basis config

after that we should be bootstrapped and able to sensibly incrementally progress / handle interruptions.
