Comment 71 for bug 872220

This is completely unbelievable. Somebody not competent enough broke the debian raid setup for ubuntu years ago, and the issues has still not been resolved?

Man, fix up ubuntu mdadm to issue proper notifications (bug #535417). Get rid of that bogus boot_degraded question (bug #539597), and finally implement a reliable raid.

@simon: good job! Maybe the notes about the required dependencies in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReliableRaid are of interst to you.

What a mistake to assume improvements in ubuntu raid and retry. Instead, use a debian installation.
