Comment 23 for bug 1171945

Thank you for this.

Tested in a 14.04 VM, created two 3-drive raid-5s (md0 and md1) and a raid-0 on top (md10), added them to mdadm.conf, added the udev rule, ran update-initramfs -u, put a vg+lv on md10, put a filesystem on the lv, filled up with some bogus data, rebooted, works. Unpacked the initrd, and I can confirm that the rules file isn't in the initrd. I do get a message during bootup: "The disk drive for /raidtest is not ready yet or not present. keys:Continue to wait…" (see screenshot). However, booting continues immediately, so it should be a problem.

Please include this in the next update. I guess this fix should work for 12.04 too, although I have not tested yet.
