This bug was fixed in the package mdadm - 3.3-2ubuntu7.2 --------------- mdadm (3.3-2ubuntu7.2) xenial; urgency=medium
* Backport initramfs changes from 3.4-4, to improve reliability of booting with degraded arrays. LP: #1635049 * debian/initramfs/hook: - Fix UUID= grep for configured RAIDs to be case insensitive. - Drop CREATE stanzas from mkconf and don't include them in the initramfs. The generated defaults, are the compiled-in defaults. And the current one generates warnings when running mdadm in the initramfs, as there is no passwd|group files to resolve root/disk uid/gid. * debian/initrmafs/script.local-block|script.local-bottom: - Use local-block integration scrips, in favor of root-fail hooks to activate incomplete arrays. * debian/initramfs/init-premount|mdadm-functions: - Drop, no longer in use. -- Dimitri John Ledkov <x...@ubuntu.com> Mon, 20 Feb 2017 10:57:43 +0000 ** Changed in: mdadm (Ubuntu Xenial) Status: Fix Committed => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of नेपाली भाषा समायोजकहरुको समूह, which is subscribed to Xenial.

[Regression Potential] * Systems may continue to fail to boot degraded. [Other Info] * Original report mdadm does not attempt to start partial md devices (incremental assembly) during initramfs and can cause system to fail to initramfs prompt if rootfs on md. http://askubuntu.com/questions/789953/how-to-enable-degraded-raid1 -boot-in-16-04lts Fixed in debian mdadm 3.4-2: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi- bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=784070 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mdadm/+bug/1635049/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~group.of.nepali.translators Post to : group.of.nepali.translators@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~group.of.nepali.translators More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
