Public bug reported: Binary package hint: mdadm
I originally contributed some feedback to Bug #75681. It is currently reported as being fixed, but my problem still persists. The person that closed it recommended that we open new bugs if we're still having problems. I've reproduced my feedback here to save looking it up: ========== FWIW, I have the problem, exactly as described, with a IDE-only system. I attempted this with both an Edgy->Feisty upgrade (mid Februrary), and a fresh install of Herd5. I'm running straight RAID1 for all my volumes: md0 -> hda1/hdc1 -> /boot md1 -> hda5/hdc5 -> / md2 -> hda6/hdc6 -> /usr md3 -> hda7/hdc7 -> /tmp md4 -> hda8/hdc8 -> swap md5 -> hda9/hdc9 -> /var md6 -> hda10/hdc10 -> /export EVERY time I boot, mdadm complains that it can't build my arrays. It dumps me in the busybox shell where I discover that all /dev/hda* and /dev/hdc* devices are missing. I ran across a suggestion here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=2236181&postcount=5. I followed the instructions and so far, it's worked perfectly at every boot (about 5 times now). Other than just to post a "me too", I thought my comments might help give a possible temporary workaround, as well as document the fact this isn't just a SATA problem. ============ I just updated to the latest packages as of approximately 4/5/07 00:50 EDT, and nothing has changed. To fix it, I can follow the workaround here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mdadm/+bug/75681/comments/60 (Boot with break=premount At the initramfs prompt: udevd --verbose --suppress-syslog >/tmp/udev-output 2>&1 & udevtrigger ) or here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=2236181&postcount=5 (add 'sleep 10' after 'log_begin_msg "Mounting root file system..."' in usr/share/initramfs-tools/init) Either will allow me to boot (the latter without manual intervention). ** Affects: mdadm (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- boot-time race condition initializing md https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/103177 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
