** Description changed: Binary package hint: mdadm + Proposed command: "mdadm --incremental --run /dev/mdX" - Initramfs has to start (selected) md devices in degraded mode. (The ones that contain the rootfs and swap/resume partition, if they didn't start after some time of udev hotplugging.) + Initramfs must be able to start (selected) md devices in degraded mode + (only the ones that contain the rootfs and swap/resume partition), if + they didn't start after some time of udev hotplugging. Starting all + arrays, that are not yet complete at that early stage, degraded is not + acceptable. - It seems to be preferable to use --incremental not only in the udev - rules but also in the boot scripts, because is said to support "auto- - read" mode for smoth inclusion of members that appear later on. + Initramfs could use the old non-incremental commands, - But the boot script should only start selected arrays, i.e. the one - containing the rootfs not all incomplete ones. + ( i.e. "mdadm --run /dev/mdX" is preferable to "mdadm --assemble --scan" + to start only selected array degraded) - So where "mdadm --run /dev/mdX" is preferable to "mdadm --assemble - --scan" (only start selected array degraded), + but the old commands break the support for "auto-read" mode set up and + smooth inclusion of members that appear later on. - something like: "mdadm --incremental --run /dev/mdX" or to start all - arrays in "auto-read" mode by default might be preferable to both. + + Alternatively to a new --incremental option, make the old commands compatible and also start degraded arrays in "auto-read" mode and incrementally extendable by default.
