I am not suggesting separate entries in a grub menu---I do not understand where you got that idea. I'm happy to review your patches, if you have code for an alternative approach. The design is not yet final. The design I set forth emulates what I did for yaboot, the PowerPC bootloader, several years ago. There have been no complaints of the yaboot functionality, which is in use by a number of commercial, enterprise PPC users. To your points.... a) SMART output is practically worthless, IMHO. I have used it extensively, and it has completely failed to report a negative status of known, bad drives, and it has marked drives as 'bad' that went on to operate flawlessly for years. If users want to use smartmontools, they can do that in userspace, but I do not recommend integrating such an imprecise technology into the init/boot processes. b) We already have a timer, set to 30 seconds, which waits for the device containing the root filesystem to show up. Perhaps you want to see a graphic representation of that timer. If so, that is a reasonable wishlist item. Feel free to open a new bug against initramfs-tools for that one. Patches welcome. c) This is how initramfs-tools works already. d) This is how my patches to Bug #120375 work, with the exception that they they support only a single degraded RAID device for $ROOT. You can open a new bug, with complete instructions on how to reproduce, a more complex scenario involving multiple degraded RAID devices required for booting. :-Dustin -- root raid installs have bad grub config https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/33649 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is a direct subscriber. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
