When I remove the "quiet" from the kernel boot args, this is the last line I see repeated over and over again until finally I get the error I described above: running /scripts/local-block I'm admitedly not a raid expert, but this seems to be really missing the point. Part of the reason I want a raid1 is so it can survive this type of scenario. I googled around and surprisingly came up with very few leads. I found a Ubuntu wiki (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID#Boot_from_Degraded_Disk) that discussed how to force it to boot a degraded raid but seemed to do nothing here on debian. I found a kernel boot arg that promised to do the same (http://serverfault.com/questions/196445/boot-debian-while-raid-array-is-degraded), but it didn't work either. What am I missing here? Shouldn't this work by default? I think a lot of people will get caught off guard by this thinking their startup drive is mirrored but the server won't boot without some manual intervention? Actually, I was not able to get it to boot at all. -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.8 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-0.bpo.4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash
