Comment 78 for bug 872220

I am very shocked. I just had a disc (between RAID 5) which crashes, and you are saying me, that it is not possible to boot and to access data ? During the install (ubuntu 13.10), I have selected boot degraded, and the system does not boot. Black screen, no error message, no shell command after 20 minutes, and no initramfs. I can't do anything. I don't understand this logic to say that it is preferable to not boot in order to prevent data loss it it is not possible to mount the system. So my data is protected, but I can access to it !

Shameful for a bug declared 1.5 years ago, and for a so critical bug !
Why have you not desactivated the ubuntu raid install since the bug is not corrected ?

The only chance I have is to have preserved my older server and than a part of my data.
