Whoever marked this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mdadm/+bug/917520 as a duplicate is mistaken.

In ubuntu 12.04 there is a major regression in mdadm where a delay in registration of RAID component (by udev) during init results in an array being MISTAKENLY tagged as corrupt. This drops the server into a busy box shell and prevents remote restart. This is a MAJOR regression.

Please, please unmark 917520 as duplicate. And those of you who have posted on this bug with symptoms described in 917520 should confirm on the other bug.

Fortunately, there is a solution that is known to fix this bug as described here:
