Could you please edit: /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-top/md
and change: -configureduuids=$(cat /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf | grep "UUID" | sed -e 's/.*=//g') +configureduuids=$(cat /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf | grep -v "^[[:space:]]*#" | grep "UUID" | sed -e 's/.*=//g') (make sure it's all on one line) save, and regenerate the initramfs with update-initramfs and please let me know if this helps with the waiting time? Note that raid numbering won't be fixed by this change at all. That's up to another set of other things.
