2008-08-19 10:29:10 Ace Suares description Binary package hint: mdadm if i unplug one hd from raid1 i cannot successfully boot because raid starts only if all disks are available through : "${MD_DEGRADED_ARGS:= --no-degraded}" in /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-top/mdadm my workaround is: /etc/initramfs-tools/hooks/startdegradedraid #!/bin/sh # # Copyright <C2><A9> 2006 Martin F.

Usrs affected by this will encounter an unusable system after a reboot (say, a kernel upgrade). Justification for backporting the fix to the stable release: Hardy is a LTS edition. It is expected that people will continue to use this version and not upgrade to Intrepid. People who have upgrade from Dapper LTS to Hardy LTS are affected too. TEST CASE Build a clean system with root on RAID, with Ubuntu 8.04 LTS. Degrade the root array. Reboot and shiver. A discussion of the regression potential of the patch and how users could get inadvertently effected. - the only users that could be affected, as fas as know, are the ones that already made a workaround and altered their system files accordingly.
