Public bug reported:
Status:
I have 1 HDD with 11.10 installed on and booting fine.
If I now connect a disk which is part of a RAID the boot fails with
mdadm complaining about a degraded root.
This is not satisfying as the RAID is not needed to boot the system, and
the system hangs during boot when it was uncontrolled powered down.This
makes it impossible to run the machine unattended.
In 10.04 and 10.11 the solution was more satisfying as the system would
boot just fine but mark all HDDs of the RAID it found as SPARE and not
activate it thusly the system booted just fine and just failed to
activate the RAID.
I found some solutions but all would break on an unattended update
(initramfs or kernel) and thusly again are not satisfying.
Is there a simple solution to make the system boot just fine as it did
before in 10.04 and 10.11 and does not break with updates or break the
updates themselves?
