I've got a different way to fix this. After reading Bug #75681, it became clear why they have MD_DEGRADED_ARGS in there. They have that because /scripts/local-top/mdadm gets called every time a device marked raid gets called, but they only want mdadm to build the array once all the devices have come up.
So I've stuck a line in the startup script that tries to mount root and if mounting root times out, then we try to run mdadm again, but this time we let it try and run with degraded disks. This way it will still startup automatically in the presence of RAID failures. ** Attachment added: "Patch to boot after timeout using degraded RAID drives." http://launchpadlibrarian.net/8884059/failed-raid.patch -- cannot boot raid1 with only one disk https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/120375 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
