Bug Description

Binary package hint: mdadm

ubuntu 8.04

When "mdadm --incremental /dev/sdXY" is used to incremantaly assemble an array (as udev is supposed to do instead of --assemble --scan), after a reboot that cleared device nodes from prior --assemblies, mdadm fails because of missing device nodes instead of creating them.

To reproduce change /etc/udev/rules.d/85-mdadm* to do "mdadm --incremental /dev/%k" and reboot.

After initramfs drops you to a console try mdadm --incremental manually.

Don't forget to "update-initramfs -k all -u" with the new udev rule before rebooting, though.
