Package: mdadm
Version: 3.3.2-5
Severity: important
Tags: patch
/lib/udev/rules.d/64-md-raid-assembly.rules says:
# remember you can limit what gets auto/incrementally assembled by
# mdadm.conf(5)'s 'AUTO' and selectively whitelist using 'ARRAY'
However, in an initramfs, AUTO lines are NOT copied from /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf.
In /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/mdadm, install_config contains:
# only copy ARRAY/DEVICE/HOMEHOST lines, and merge continuation lines into one
Disabling auto-assembly won't work, which can make the system
unbootable/unworkable,
for instance if you have multiple filesystems having the same label.
Trivial patch included.
