 Hi guys,

 3.5.x is not yet ready to move to [core],
 - ext4 regression is not fixed yet, will be fixed in 3.5.3
 - watchdogs are completely broken
   I'm not sure how much of a showstopper the watchdogs are, so please
   shout out if this is a real problem.
 If you have any other showstopper please let me know.

Ok everything reported fixed.
Please signoff and 3.5.3 will move to core.

For me it's still very much reproducible though, with either 3.5.2 or 3.5.3.

Can you run add 'break=premount' to the kernel command line and try to
get some mdadm output? I don't know exactly what to look for, but maybe
try to assemble the array with verbose output. By using break=premount,
you hook into the boot process _before_ anything has been written to
your disk, so you don't destroy the consistency of your RAID.

Also, can we see your mdadm.conf? Which mdadm hook are you using, mdadm
or mdadm_udev (I use mdadm_udev btw)?

break=premount breaks after RAID+LVM assembly, so doesn't really help. :-)

But I get dropped to a shell prompt anyway when the raid can't be assembled.
I forgot to mention, mdassemble always works fine from there (no mdadm
command in the initrd).  Could it be a timing related issue/race condition?

My mdadm.conf is attached.  I don't know whether that uses mdad_udev or not?

Hi,
 
 We should probably add [1] to our 3.5.3 kernel as well, if it isn't int
 he stable kernel already. According to the bug report, this will fix
 your problem.

This would be nice. Yes, the issue seems to be fixed in 3.6rc3, it
doesn't appear on my laptop.

regards
Bjoern

Since upgrading to 3.5.x, my system with mdraid mirror boots with either
a degraded RAID array, or not auto-discovering the RAID at all.

The disks are fine, confirmed by both SMART selftest and badblocks scan.
Downgraded back to 3.4.9 and the problem went away.

Anyone else experienced this?  My setup should be common, with /boot on
/dev/md0 over sda1+sdb1, and the rest on LVM on /dev/md1 over sda2+sdb2.
