FOLLOW NOTES - I compared the 'local' script on my 1st (successful) machine and this 2nd machine; they're identical, same file-date, same lack of 'mdadm' reference. So that's not the problem here. - I sat and waited to see if the new "Boot degraded?" prompt appeared; it did not. - I tried editing /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/mdadm and set BOOT_DEGRADED=true Still no success with 1 drive. - One thing I had not done was run 'dpkg-reconfigure mdadm'. I ran it and selected the Boot Degraded option, then rebooted; failure.
Finally, I tried doing the manual workaround just to make sure my system really could boot degraded, and it did. In other words, from the Busybox prompt I typed: (initramfs) mdadm --assemble /dev/md0 (initramfs) mdadm --assemble /dev/md1 Rebooted and everything worked on the 1 drive. So I'm not sure why it didn't Just Work automatically. -- SRU: Backport of Boot Degraded RAID functionality from Intrepid to Hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/290885 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
