** Description changed:
+ The impact of the bug on users: Systems with root on a RAID array will
+ not be able to boot if the array is degraded. Usrs affected by this will
+ encounter an unusable system after a reboot (say, a kernel upgrade).
+
+ Justification for backporting the fix to the stable release: Hardy is a
+ LTS edition. It is expected that people will continue to use this
+ version and not upgrade to Intrepid. People who have upgrade from Dapper
+ LTS to Hardy LTS are affected too.
+
+ TEST CASE
+ Build a clean system with root on RAID, with Ubuntu 8.04 LTS. Degrade the
root array. Reboot and shiver.
+
+ A discussion of the regression potential of the patch and how users could get
inadvertently effected.
+ - the only users that could be affected, as fas as know, are the ones that
already made a workaround and altered their system files accordingly.
+
+
Binary package hint: mdadm
if i unplug one hd from raid1 i cannot successfully boot because raid
starts only if all disks are available through
: "${MD_DEGRADED_ARGS:= --no-degraded}" in /usr/share/initramfs-
tools/scripts/local-top/mdadm
my workaround is:
/etc/initramfs-tools/hooks/startdegradedraid
#!/bin/sh
