I was reading the Advanced Installation guide for 14.04 (https://help.ubuntu.com/14.04/serverguide/advanced-installation.html) for Software RAID instructions. There is a section entitled "Degraded RAID" which appears to be incorrect. It instructs the user to set a flag, BOOT_DEGRADED=true in /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/mdadm. However, this file does not exist, and running "dkpg-reconfigure mdadm" does not seem to create it. Looking into this problem, I found this bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mdadm/+bug/1302195 which makes it sound like the system will always boot when in a "degraded" mode (ie, no configuration is needed). Thus, this documentation should probably be updated.
