I still don't see this as practical, as it would necessitate moving smartctl (and dependent .so's) into the initramfs. But if you have a working patch, I'll gladly look at it. > b) What I tried to suggest is not a visible timer (good idea but not > urgent), but the possibility that during _installation_ one can specify > if automatic degraded booting will ever occur. (default timer=0 -> no > automatism) This is handled by the patches for Bug #120375. With that code, you are able to provide on the kernel boot parameters one of: * bootdegraded=true * bootdegraded=false The default is 'false'. The timer is fixed at 30 seconds, which will be spent in 0.1 second intervals, looking for new devices that might have shown up, or a clean RAID device. :-Dustin -- root raid installs have bad grub config https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/33649 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is a direct subscriber. -- 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
