I have created a patch for the initramfs-tools script as suggested by Ken in this comment:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mdadm/+bug/120375/comments/47 In order to apply it (as root), "cd /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts", "patch < initramfs-mdadm-assemble-scan.patch", then "update-initramfs -u". With an initrd patched in this manner, I was able to disconnect either of my harddrives and still boot my server without manual intervention. The patch does not address the generous wait for the missing harddrive, so give it some time. ** Attachment added: "Patch for initramfs-tools as suggested by Ken on 2008-03-31" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/15929571/initramfs-mdadm-assemble-scan.patch -- cannot boot raid1 with only one disk https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/120375 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is a subscriber of a duplicate bug. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
