Package: mdadm Version: 3.3.2-5 This version of mdadm will not boot a degraded RAID1 array with a missing disk.
When booting under the above circumstances, I am dropped to a busybox shell with disk not found message. I have confirmed this on physical and virtual machines. This bug appears to be happening to other people. For example: http://arstechnica.com/civis/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=1271945 The wheezy version (3.2.5-5) will boot under these circumstances. Manually installing the wheezy version in Jessie results in creation of a bootable initrd (and successful boot up). This is a severe error for my usage (being inaccessible hosts with RAID1 disks). Let me know if I can provide additional information. Damien
