serverfault solution isn't exactly wrong, it is incomplete, it does not cover a situation when you have slow-to-appear devices. This solution, however, fixes the problem in this bugreport, a problem which I introduced when I tried to address the problem with slow-to-appear devices. Ofcourse it is better to be able to boot from a degraded raid than to be able to boot from slow devices, esp. since the latter had a workaround. So in this sense, serverfault solution will fix _this_ bug. > 2) Did I understand you correctly? You said that nobody is going to fix > this bug because of disliking on another.

No your understanding is wrong. I don't have any dislike to anyone. But I also dislike doing work which is being thrown away by others, since this is a pure waste of time/energy, and time is a very scarse resource. I don't want to do any work if I know this work will be thrown away, and here, debian-installer people did throw my work a) without a good reason and b) without actual rights for that. So I stopped maintaining all software which is related to debian-installer, because now I know it is just a waste of time. As simple as that, and there's nothing like dislike of someone in there, there's nothing personal. In short, I don't maintain mdadm anymore, so there's no reason to ask me about it. Thanks, /mjt
