Swap file system

This questions only concerns Solaris 10.

Let's say I have swap configured like so in /etc/vfstab:

/dev/dsk/c1t0d0s1       -       -       swap    -       no      -
/dev/dsk/c1t1d0s1       -       -       swap    -       no      -
/dev/md/dsk/d1  -       -       swap    -       no      -

and in SVM:

d1: Mirror
    Submirror 0: d901
      State: Okay
    Submirror 1: d911
      State: Okay
    Pass: 1
    Read option: roundrobin (default)
    Write option: parallel (default)
    Size: 20962560 blocks (10.0 GB)

d901: Submirror of d1
    State: Okay
    Size: 20962560 blocks (10.0 GB)
    Stripe 0:
        Device     Start Block  Dbase        State Reloc Hot Spare
        c0t0d0s1          0     No            Okay   Yes

d911: Submirror of d1
    State: Okay
    Size: 20962560 blocks (10.0 GB)
    Stripe 0:
        Device     Start Block  Dbase        State Reloc Hot Spare
        c0t1d0s1          0     No            Okay   Yes

If the mirror stays intact and one of the other drives (either /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s1or /dev/dsk/c1t1d0s1) fail, will my system panic and crash or just give a warning message and continue on?

What if one the mirrored drives fails? Will the system panic and crash or continue on with an error message.

Thanks in Advance!

The system will likely leave the disk failure unnoticed if the swap space isn't used which is the usual case.
Otherwise, I suspect a panic for unrecoverable read errors and possibly something less extreme for write errors.
