Package: mdadm
Version: 3.1.1-1
Severity: serious
When I use the mdadm 3.1.1-1 udeb to install root on RAID1 the machine
doesn't boot - it waits for root because RAID is never started.
I tracked this down to empty values in /conf/conf.d/md:
| MD_HOMEHOST='NAS8C4EB8'
| MD_DEVPAIRS='/dev/md/0:'
| MD_LEVELS=''
| MD_DEVS=all
| MD_MODULES=''
MD_MODULES is empty, so no modules are loaded and /proc/mdstat doesn't
exist and so the script stops.
The reason why these values are empty is that the initramfs hook looks
for levels=XXX in /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf, but my config file doesn't
contain anything about levels. Maybe the format has changed with
metadata=1.1?
My /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf looks like this:
| DEVICE partitions
| HOMEHOST <system>
| ARRAY /dev/md/0 metadata=1.1 UUID=f8d6999e:0d277d4a:ed6ff136:2bd5f46a
name=NAS8C4EB8:0

This has been fixed in partman-md which now uses /dev/md/X instead of
/dev/mdX for newer versions of madm.
