2009-01-31 13:46:31 Martin Mai debian-installer: statusexplanation Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue for you. Can you try with the latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.

2010-03-07 18:10:28 ceg description Binary package hint: debian-installer On systems that are set up statically mdadm.conf is often used to list the md devices that should be set up and the startup script just calls mdadm --assemble --scan. But on systems oriented towards hotplug ability this prevents arrays from being assembled by the hotplug system. Ubuntu has switched to set up complete (non-degraded) arrays automatically with udev rules. But any ARRAY line in mdadm.conf created during (package) installation prevents the hotplugging to work with other arrays. As only complete (non-degraded) arrays are run automatically the automatic assembly will leave partial arrays that may be plugged in untouched, thus the system shoud be save even without the ARRAY restriction. (The --no-degraded and --increamental options have been implemented with this hotplugging in mind.) The ARRAY lines should not be created on udev+mdadm systems.

(The --no-degraded and --increamental options have been implemented with this hotplugging in mind.) The installer should not create the ARRAY lines on udev+mdadm systems because this breaks further raid setups.
