I've run into this problem now as well, and consider it fairly serious. Not having my multi-terabyte RAID array attached to my shiny new Ubuntu NAS-head is a major blocker on my Ubuntu deployment.
Any chance that we're going to see this patch included in an update sometime very soon? -- mdrun fails if large disk present, thus boot fails. https://launchpad.net/bugs/57972 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
