I notice thay my 'real' partitions (/dev/sd[a,b][1..7]) do appear, but only md0, not my other md[1..3] devices. Moreover, after checking /proc/mdstat, /dev/md0 is started in degraded mode. My setup: /dev/md0 is a mirror of /boot. md1 is a mirror of swap, md2 is a mirrored volume group with my home (and backup of root), md3 is the rest with a striped volume group. > 2.

Running that script makes /dev/md[1..3] come up in non-degraded mode, md0 stays in degraded mode. LVM is not started automatically. After typing 'lvm vgscan ; lvm vgchange -ay', my LVMs come up and I can continue booting with CTRL-D. Interestingly, this seem to happen most of the time. Just before I booted with mdadm_2.5.6-7ubuntu3, and the system came up just fine. Note that this happened exactly once to me so far. -- Gruesse/greetings, Reinhard Tartler, KeyID 945348A4 -- initramfs script: race condition between sata and md https://launchpad.net/bugs/75681 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
